Thanks Gabriel. Going to build  a roller following your strategy.

Awesome!

Gabriel, I noticed that you haven't answered many questions below about the specific parts that you used for this DIY project. Can you please post links to the parts that you used in this video as I and many others would like to follow your footsteps in the sand.

Thank you Gabriel

I made this based on this video! Using the rubber wheel to spin the tank is brilliant! I 've used it and it works great! Why waste all that money on a Jobo! This works just as well!  THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!

everything about this video is awesome. thank you for sharing and i love that bicycle print!

I rinse my film with reverse osmosis water. It's nearly the same as distilled water. I get it from filtering my tap water. It was a lucky coincidence because I got it to make my own water for the espresso machine.

I have a somewhat different approach. My way is to keep the film on the roll in the canister until the end of the developing and washing. Then I just soak the Film in my reverse osmosis water and pour it back once the film has been soaked. That way I can keep reusing the water. It works a few times but eventually started getting deposit on my film. So I use a tds meter to check how clean my water is. If necessary I will use fresh RO water.

Anyway I love your approach to developing. You put a lot of effort into everything.

This is so cool!

Hi Gabriel, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks for taking the time to show how you put the processor together as well as how you go through your C-41 process. Have you put together a step by step guide to 1) make the processor (yes, I saw all the parts and costs, but a step by step would be great) 2) how your steps of testing for pH and anything else you normally go through to get the final result would be deeply appreciated. Thanks for the consideration. Andrew

Gorgeous

I really enjoy this DIY project. I'm looking to start my own, I'm curious where you got your roller base from! TIA!

Great work bud! But how or what did you use to put the electric parts together?

What is that?? The motor arm

On a separate project, what’s a good sous vide capable of 20°c for my B&W on the side? Im open to older used

Hi Gabriel, this is a brilliant idea. I am gathering the components that you described but I was just wondering what amperage of the power supply you are using? I have a collection of old 12V DC supplies from old phones-light boxes etc that run fro 1.25A to 5A but was just wondering what you are running. regards Evan

I’m gathering my parts for my project.  I’m going for compact single roll at a time 120, 135. & 2~6 sheets 2x3 & 4x5. Using Jobo 1510 & 2509n tanks & extension for 8x10 paper.
I’d like to use a pulley drive utilizing the existing magnet base.  What is a good used recycle sores for a quiet little DC servo motor?

When I used plastic film dev hangers, after I cut the leaders off, I would make small  45 degree cuts in the end corners of the film to keep the film from catching and buckling inside of the plastic hangers while sliding the film on.  It just made the process that much smother and easier to getting the film to slide into the dev hanger.  I use metal hangers and tanks and I noticed that it also helps to get the film on those even though it doesn't sliding on.  I can feel the film inside the metal hanger readjusting much faster if the film is buckling up with I reverse the wind on to the metal hanger.  I have to keep my thumb and middle finger near the center of the metal hanger the entire time while winding.

No problems with the Paterson tank? I had problems because the center shaft is not blocked and it rolled together the tank and the spiral didn't rotate so the film wasn't developed. Jobo tanks and AP tanks are better. And.. You should make a dryer tent for the film with a fan. Shorter dry time is much better than a longer time.

where did you get your rotation processor!

I rinse my film under the tap with water temperature around 38 Celsius and slow slow I close the hot water and film rinse at tap temperature, after i  fill the tank with distilled water and empty it 3 times and then i  stabilise the film, isn't good?
