Forster UK uses 3d printing to innovatively design and manufacture photography products.

Platypus Tilting Drying Rack 4x5 (V2). An original Forster UK Design.

Add a little Bauhaus to your darkroom and dry your film and glass plates faster with a Platypus tilting drying rack. Just load your wet film or plates vertically, then tilt the rack so that the water drips from a point instead of collecting along the bottom edge.

Available in 4-slot or 6-slot configurations. Currently for 4x5 film and dry plates, but other sizes will become available

Version 2 is here with resized and reprofiled slots!

FEATURES:

• Increased spacing between sheets/plates
• More generous width for oversized 4x5 sheets of film
• Now accommodates full-sized ambrotypes up to 3mm thick

• 2x Frames (1x front, 1x rear)
• 5x Dividers (3x standard, 1x Rear Support, 1x Front Support)
• 10x 25mm x 3.5mm Black Phosphate Coated Philips screws

The parts are designed so that they can only be fitted in the correct place
