I would appreciate it. I can then sketch a B-style reel for it to see if it has enough space.
I recently ordered one for myself so when it arrives I can take some measurements for you.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip! I did put drops of hot glue on the bottom to prevent the film from sticking to the bottom the tray.I also do the pre-wash to 'warm up' the tank. I was lucky to get the motor base with mine.
Did you remove the fins from the lid? They're known to cause streaks where the developer sloshes against them.
That's really neat, vedostuu.
Thanks Andrew! But we need to see if this really works in development action first
I will probably start the print on cheese version tomorrow morning and see in the evening how everything is going and decide if I want to pursue this crazy marathon to the end
I look forward to the results! Good luck!
You know, before 3D printers, I'd have probably gone to the local model airplane/train shop (most of which have now gone the way of local camera stores) and bought a few sheets of polystyrene to fabricate something like that.
One of my hobby is RC planes, I have cut multiple wings from polystyrene by hot wire. But I don't see that as solution for this; to get a rigid structure you need quite thick walls.
Not foam, this is solid material, also used to injection mold the part trees for plastic display models. Reasonably rigid in thicknesses of .2 mm or more (though in the US is usually sold by inch thickness -- 1/32 or .030 is common). Not as good chemically as ABS, but it does work in developing tanks. The Plastruct brand has been commonly used in model railroading, both for scenery and custom modification/fabrication of rolling stock, for decades.
Just to follow up, the Jobo Multitank 5 is approx. 13.3cm in diameter. Of course the issue is you need a relatively high volume of chemistry for non-rotary processing.
You know, before 3D printers, I'd have probably gone to the local model airplane/train shop (most of which have now gone the way of local camera stores) and bought a few sheets of polystyrene to fabricate something like that. Probably cost less and might take less time than printing one (though I'd have my hands on the project longer than with a printer, it might not be longer once you figure in the time spent with the 3D CAD). If I didn't already have a good 4x5 solution, or if I shot larger film, I might still order in a couple bags of Plastruct polystyrene sheet and rectangle stock and try to find a bottle of methylene chloride (filler-free) solvent glue to give it a try.
