I'm planning to bring #openautolab to #39c3 and try to bring some more attention to it (and to #analogfotografie in general). I will definitely develop film for people who want to see the machine in action (black-and-white for sure, color if enough people want it). I will also bring some bulk film to roll and a couple of cameras for interested people to try.
Now I need advice from people more experienced with visiting #chaoscommunicationcongress : what else should I do? Should I make a lecture out of it? Lightning talk? Not sure what to talk about. About how I developed the machine? How it works? Why an #opensourcehardware film developing processor is needed in 2025? Auf meinem gebrochenen Deutsch oder auf Englisch? Halp!

@lilyvanilla that depends on the material. Rezin is almost always too transparent, but PLA and ABS should be good enough. Source: I made a lot of trial end error 3d-printing film-developing stuff, see #openautolab
But hey, let's troubleshoot! What is the wall thickness? Are you sure that the problem is not in light trap of the tank, but the walls themselves? Can you share the tank model you used?
My #OpenAutoLab was featured in the https://makeityourself.org/ digital book by https://n-o-d-e.net/
Not that it's the finest choice of projects :3, but I've found lots of ones that never crossed my radar, although being in my areas-of-interest. Totally worth having a look.
Make it Yourself

@janamarie hi, have you by any chance seen the DIY film developing machine at the congress, #openautolab? If not, check it out, could be interesting for you. If you did, check it out anyways, I've just released v0.6.
