Note this is the 2nd - and much improved - version of my first design (check the “remix” link for that version), which has been designed to allow much better air and liquid flow.

I bought some Yankee Clipper development tanks whose primary intended use is for single 35mm or 120 roll film development (see picks) but they didn't come with the agitation rod that is required to make them work correctly (these tanks are NOT inversion-style tanks... if you try inversion the chems will get everywhere).

Since I have three of these tanks, and zero agitation rods, I decided to whip one up! Check the pics and print files, this thing fits like a glove and works like a charm.

If you make one, I'd love it if you let me know! Don't worry, I won't beg for a donation, and I won't try to get you to buy anything and I won't try to sell your contact info or anything LOL. I just like knowing my designs help others.

To see actual prints of my design, check out the “Makes” tab (I print basically everything I design.)

Print instructions

Printer: MakerFarm Pegasus 10"

Rafts: No

Supports: Yes

Resolution: 0.2

Infill: 20%

Filament: AmazonBasics PLA Red

Notes:
Rafts weren't needed when I printed it, but sometimes tall and narrow prints try to spin during printing. If you find that happening to you, then check your print bed heat setting OR use a raft for better base adhesion.

Post-Printing
Post printing is just making sure to remove the supports, but you know that already. :)

How I Designed This
Designed with TinkerCad and knowledge that I gained to improve upon the first version
