8mm Cine Development Reel

thingiverse

This is an 8mm cine develoment tank reel. How many feet you ask? I don't really know, as much as will fit, somewhere between 50' and 100', one hopes. I am constrained by printbed size, so I am trying to fit as much as possible into a 220mm bed. This is a work in progress, I have not even printed one yet. There is precious little support for cine processing around that I have found and these reels and tanks tend to skew expensive on sites like ebay, and even then you usually have to order them from Siberia (I am in the US) and they are liable to come broken. I designed this last year and forgot about it until I saw another user was working on the same thing. (Shoutout to Haize whose own project reminded me that I was working on this!) Their project is here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2565363 I will also try to design a working tank with a real light trap to go with this if anyone finds this useful.
