My completely new reel design lets you develop 110 format (AKA: 16mm) film in a Paterson processing tank easier than ever! They are 3D printed, and have been redesigned and refined through a lot of user feedback. They are printed in PLA+ material, which has proven to be sturdy and resilient when used with any typical (and some not-so-typical) development process, including B&W, C-41, E-6, ECN-II, etc. Here are a few of the highlights of the new design:1) Both "twist-load" and "push-fed" loading (with my special "push-feed lock" feature) methods are supported 2) Increased film strip capacity by 44%. This new design now supports lengths of up to (approx) 190cm (74 3⁄4”) 3) Improved anti-crawlback design, to better lock the film strip in the reel during development 4) New design allows for improved chemical/liquid flow 5) New “lock/unlock” icons on the reel’s face that are easier to see and understand 6) New Paterson center rod/core interface design, for better overall compatibility with decades of Paterson manufacturing variances 7) Improved reel crossbar design for an even smoother loading experience 8) Improved overall reel left/right half interfaces, for steadier and smoother reel separation and reconnection
Before ordering, please remember these reels are printed on-demand, which typically takes a few days. I send notice when your order has finish printing and has been hand-tuned, and checked for quality and usability, so you know how things are progressing.
Tip for best use of these reels: It's suggested that you clip the film's leader corners to help with film loading, which is something that I learned from many older, more experienced, photographers from years of their experience long before I made these reels, and I do this for ALL roll film formats too, not only this one. It really does make a huge difference.
