Description
-The automatic agitation film processor that I developed uses common, easily found parts on Amazon or other online stores. I have gone through several iterations, settling on the simplest unit that does the job and can be mostly printed. -I got the electronics ideas from an online post that I can no longer find. Otherwise, I’d give that person credit for the idea of the stepper motor and associated controller. -The units that I have made have run for many hours but not for extended periods. Thanks to https://grabcad.com/ishi-3 for the JOBO tank model. For Jobo tanks, use the Axle spacers-wheels Jobo.stl For Paterson tanks, use the Axle spacers-wheels Paterson.stl Files to download: • The Read Me.... Assembly instruction document (pdf) • ZK-SMC02 CNC Stepper Motor Driver Instructions from the manufacturer (pdf) • A bill of materials (.PDF file) • STL files. The sous vide tube is just a placeholder for your sous vide-no need to print it. Tools needed: 2.5mm Allen tool, small Philips head screwdriver Optional: power drill and 1/16”dia. bit if you add cotter pins to the Top Rod Contact me with questions.
