while researching other things I ran in to these

https://www.amazon.ca/Dernord-Cartridge-Electric-Stainless-Replacement/dp/B0741664G5/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1545069770&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=heater+cartridge&psc=1

 

A couple of those with thermo-couples and PIDs mounted in aluminum plates on a cheap arbor press and it should be doable.  The only thing I have not figured out is the padding,  kydex foam is probably not the right thing.  I would think you need something thermally conductive as well as high temp resistant.

I don’t think a 12 v element  will get hot enough.  We change out the elements on the credit card stamps to get hotter ones.  These are the ones I bought but have not tried them yet.  The guy that came up with the idea of the credit card press did a bunch of experiments and says they have to be at least 300 watt.
