Jo-110 Film Dev Reel (Jobo)

My Jo-110 reels let you develop 110 format (AKA: 16mm) film in a Jobo processing tank.

They were specifically designed around the Jobo 15xx series tanks/drums.

They are 3D printed, and have been designed 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, cafenol, etc.

Some Highlights:

• Built in twist-lock system, that separates into two halves for easy film unloading after development is finished.

• They can accommodate approx 132-135cm (~53") of film.

• Improved anti-crawlback design, designed to help keep the film in place during rotary processing.

• There is also an optional spacer part available, which may or may not be helpful in your setup (check your Jobo tank center core, and consider your intended usage). If you think you might do processing batches of exclusively 110 films, then this might be helpful, here's why; These reels are more narrow (shorter) than a standard Jobo reel (for 35mm and/or 120), and if you place one of these 110 reels at the bottom of your development drum, then take a look at your drum's center core rod. If you notice that at the base of the rod there is a larger space of rod before the friction ribs begin, then this optional spacer can help. It is designed to be put on the center core/rod first - before the reel is added - to fill the non-ribbed space of the rod, so when you put your 110 reel in there, it is just high enough to engage with the center core rod's friction ribs, so that the reel doesn't spin, which you want when doing rotary processing. This is less critical for inversion or stand development styles, though still helpful.

Things to consider when ordering:

• These reels are printed on-demand, which typically takes a few days (occasionally longer, but not often). 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.

Tips for best use of these reels:

1. 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.

2. These reels are designed to have the film "push-fed" into them (see video demonstration). This is my preferred loading method (in all reels I use), and works amazingly well. Alternatively, some users have reported using the reel's twist-locking system in a similar way that Paterson and Jobo reels are used, to "walk" the film into the reel, little by little. This isn't my preferred method, though your milage may vary.
