Purpose

Main purpose for the development of this tools - create better way to load film on existing paterson reels and also make a first steps for automatic loading for Film Development machine project. Because i decided to make a step-by-sep interations - it’s a good start to make a mechanical prototype which can resembles loading mechanism in the final machine.

Materials and productioin

Both of the designes as a step file you can find on my ko-fi webpage

• For 35mm
• For 120 film

It’s prefferable to print it from PETG or ABS or materials less brittle and more flexible. Parts have flex points and clicking mechanisms for film holding and for paper winding in case of 120 jig. Both tools prints with 2-3 hours without supports and designed to be printable with most of the modern print technologyes awaliable on the market.
