Hi all,

Amazing Mark, that was great!  I’ve looked into getting a Lomo reel in the past but never made the leap to developing my own movie film.  I still have a few good options for sending my fill out for developing.  You did give me some ideas for future projects with PVC.

Sorry for the slow response.

I was really surprised how easy it was to flatten PVC pipe, and also how well it glues.

That GNAL developing reel works great. Time will tell if a 3D printed reel lasts for the long haul, but it was printed in PET-G. I will have to see if my mate can print me a second, see through reel, as there is space in the tank to develop two films at a time.
