    It's a different project, but something like this https://film.kolve.org/film-development-robot-v2-0/ from Morton Kolve?

    Wondering if anyone with one of these can post their thoughts? Strongly considering one because it's one of the "cheaper" options that actually looks robust and compatible with expert drums

    I have used one of these after I got fed up the the old beseler roller I had. It has no problems with any of the jobo drums I have(3005,3062,2550).

    It didn't quite work out of the box though. I adjusted the rollers to better fit the expert drums, this was easy you just need a hex wrench. The harder part was that the motor controller was set to change direction before the expert drums made a full revolution and there are no directions on how to adjust it. Fortunately there is a YouTube video that shows how to adjust the settings but it's not the most user friendly thing.

    I found a website for this very interesting processor. I have been trying to contact though email but no answer. Do you think this might have turned into a scam ?
