The best Minox format developing reel ?

This is what we used when I was doing this stuff for a profession If you are a machinist feel free to knock them out.

This would be a big improvement over the currently available options. The original minox tank is fiddly and odd, and the available plastic reels work but development is uneven. I've struggled for quite some time with finding a really satisfactory developing setup.

Can be used in both a Nikor style tank or a rotational processor

An enormous version of that would be awesome for cine film.

I find the original Minox tank easy to use and give very even development, plus it is very economical on developer. Immerse yourself in the whole Minox experience!

I have always just dumped my Minox film in a 6” ceramic developing tray. I slide my fingers over the film back and forth to distribute spots where the film sticks together. Have had even development and it’s the easiest to load. Likely only downside is that agitation probably needs to be somewhat continuous but haven’t really tested limits

The most important thing about my reel is the ability to process multiple rolls in either a tank or rotary processor which is what it was designed for. Mostly used a King Concepts Enterprise and and the Image-maker 5000.

I never liked these. Uneven development at the edges. Harder to load.
