I have already searched and although there are a ton of threads in various places on the subject of using the jobo 3005 on a motor base, but I need to know if the wobble that is a characteristic of these bases could effect uneven development? I finally have been experimenting with xtol from hc110, because it is supposed to be better for rotary processing. I have fashioned ribbing that allows the 3005 not to walk off the motor base, and I make sure the the whole unit is level, but really with the wobbling there is no way to make "completely" level. Any ideas?
 
The wobble is fine (if not desirable to introduce some randomness to the spin) so long as you have sufficient volume of solution to cover the film at the pek and trough of the wobble.
