There are many reels like this out there for Paterson tanks. I prefer steel tanks, so this is my version.

Print 2 each of Plug, Top, outerTube, and Teeth, and 1 centerTube. Included gcode is a complete reel as a single print in Hatchbox ABS.

The parts should press fit together. Depending on your printer's calibration, you may need to scale a few of the parts by about 1% in your slicer.

Also included is a hook to hang the reel on a peg board with 1" spacing.

Version 2:

V1 was developed (pun intended) using Ilford HP5. I used it to develop some Kodak E100, which apparently has a thinner base, and found that the inner sheet can sometimes jump out and stick to the outer sheet on one side. V2 has deeper teeth to hopefully prevent that from happening again. I also added more cutouts to the top and bottom for better flow.
