hi there, all of you.

normally I'm only reading the posts here on the forums, but today there is something I want to share with you and get a bit of feedback on.

I'm working with large format since 2009, and using the "taco method" ever since to develop my B&W. the fact is that I cannot blame the method for anything - it never ruined any photo of mine. but it just doesn't feels right, if you know what I mean...

having previously owned several stainless steel tanks because of 135 and 120 film processing, it never interested me to buy another tank of another system. plus, processing you own film is by no means a big thing in Brazil, and everything you want has to come from abroad, which means expensive shipping plus 60% tax customs.

there really isn't any other way for people using metal tanks, is there? MOD54 is a great product on a decent price, but it is for patterson tanks only.

so... this thing about 3d printing has got me a bug in the last couple of months, and I ended up designing something loosely based on the old nikor tank. you can check it out on http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/8-...lickredirect=1.

I have just finished this design and uploaded it to this website so, some acknowledgements:
1. this is a very expensive price to me;
2. I have never tried this design, but for me it seems to work as a concept;
3. I'm not sure if the printed plastic would survive some of our corrosive chemicals;

well, that's basically it. I would appreciate if you could just have a look at it and let me know what you think.

all the best,

cleber
