I'm loving mine, but I'm encountering an issue. When I warm the container water to 39 degrees, the chemicals never reach 39 degrees, as if the heat in the container is not enough to warm through the plastic of the bottles. Do you guys set your TCS temperature higher so that the liquid inside the bottles reach 39?
Something like this would be very useful for resin 3D printers if there were a way to keep it out of the way of the printing platform. Keeping the photopolymer resin warm and circulated (especially if adding custom pigments or particles) can mean the difference between success and failure of a print. I hear there is a new product that does something similar using some sort of sonic vibration device, but I don't expect it to hit the consumer market any time soon.
Does anyone else have an issue with this thing not working? I have it set to 103 and my developer won't go past 98 for almost an hour now. The water I put it in was 104 degrees.
I have this device and it works exactly as described in this video. The only caution is in my experience it is imperative to get the water level between the minimum and maximum water marks. Question: I would like to find a device like this to maintain water temperature in paper developers in trays. As trays are shallower, the TCS-1000 does not work. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?
NEVER plug anything other than a shaver or toothbrush SPECIFICALLY designed to use a shaver socket. NEVER use a 2 pin travel adaptor with the TCS1000 or other appliances which require a third earth connection. Shaver sockets are designed to accept the exact shaver/toothbrush plug and not others (like the TCS) which are designed for a totally different country. Shaver sockets supply only a very small current (to protect from electrocution in a bathroom) and are isolated from the mains (again to protect from a live to ground electrocution). If you do manage to shove a 2 pin plug into it, all you will do is blow the internal fuse, rendering the shaver socket scrap. As the video says, get the correct unit for your country. In the UK, it is 240 volts AND ensure it has the correct UK plug. DO NOT use travel adaptors, they will only be two pin, thus you will have no earth. If the heater element fails and 'goes down to earth' , as there is no earth connection to blow the fuse, your unit will become live, as will the liquid it is sitting in and you will probably DIE BE WARNED!!! UK plugs have a fuse fitted, these foreign ones do not, so you are relying on a 32A fuse back at your consumer unit. Remember, just 0.003 amps will kill you, which is far smaller than your 32 amp fuse! It is a legal requirement of retail sale in the UK that all appliances are fitted with a UK plug. Grey imports or Ebays sometimes do not. If an appliance has a euro 2 pin plug, one can buy (look at TLC Electrical) a UK plug, which the 2 pin plug fits totally into (not like a travel adaptor) BUT for things requiring an earth connection, like this TCS1000, DO NOT USE THEM. At the very least, buy a proper 3 connection (2 pin and one flat tab) euro to UK plug adaptor which will connect the earth and is also fused. Also, please use an RCD, unless your consumer unit has one, it will save your life. European
@@haydng3503 IN the UK, it is a legal requirement that all appliances are fitted with a UK plug. Go back to your retailer. Do not use a travel adaptor, they do not have an earth. Assuming your unit is 240V, you could cut off the euro/American plug and fit a UK fused 3 pin plug. If you do not have a consumer unit that has RCBOs or an RCD, then I would strongly suggest buying a plug-in RCD. If this thing goes faulty, it and the water bath could become live, instantly killing you, an RCD will disconnect the power and save your life.
@@jeg569 Many travel adaptors are only two pin and will not connect the earth. Please check yours. Without an earth, if the unit becomes faulty, it, the water bath and you could become live, thus die. The video at 0.24 shows two plug types, neither are suitable for use in the UK, even with travel adaptors. Would be interesting to know who in the UK are selling these and if CineStill are aware that they are being sold without the correct UK plug. My best advise, check with the retailer and then cut off the plug and fit a proper UK one. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Electricity kills. Do a search on amazon UK for the below.

You would need an expensive voltage converter (not just a plug adapter), but it’s best to order a 220v EU plug version from one of our retailers in Europe.

my favorites part is the pitcher coming out of nowhere and me catching it…we definitely did that in one take
I'm loving these weekly videos ^^
Keep up the great work!!
🍾 cant wait for mail day! jobo kit incoming.
I have one and it's been a game changer!
Great job Linus! Accurate temp control must be nice.
This is going to be a game changer and also enable to do BW as well as C41 processing at home instead of just BW.
How about a bottle with a thermometer built into the cap?
that was a lot of information🥺🥺 kind of intimidating 💔

What is the lower temp control? Can it keep room temperature of 20°c ?
The display stayed on "F", when You showed how to chance for Celsius...... ;-)
That’s.... a lot of things that can go wrong.... I’m scared 😱
I wish I knew abt the not laying it on the side, mine doesn't work anymore. It just reads error when activating :(
Pretty expensive but works great, first film I home developed was colour and I used the TCS.

Did y'all announce a winner yet? :)
my favorite part is when he says "chemistry"
Seems like there is a lot of "Don't do's" ?
UK plug will be available?
The TCS does not work in UK shaver sockets, possibly not the correct voltage and the pins are slightly too narrow.
I’ve had this problem and even got a replacement sent. Same issue again so it’s just been sitting in my cupboard collecting dust.

I mean, cool Idea, I will definitely get a sous vide stick for developing. I'll just skip the mark up for the name.

Hope A European three pin adaptor comes in the box?
The UK one came with a 2 pin plug, and I had to buy a shaver plug
The European 2 pin plug is available on the 220v version at one of our many retailers in Europe.
@@CineStillFilm which means that UK customers have to buy a plug to convert it into a 3 pin before they can use the TCS
@@CineStillFilm what about the third earth pin?
@@jeg569 or cut the plug off and fit a UK 3 pin plug.
I wish it was as intuitive as the video suggests…
Can you confirm 120v version doesn't work in 220v households ? I asked my friend in US to bring one for me.
Same question as Anoop

Ok thanks
Ordinary sous vide stick makes the same and is 2x or more cheaper.
Once again asking a collaboration with Vuhlandes
It will happen especially with Linus as a host of the channel, he for dead sure suggested Vuhlandes already
sooooo a sous vide

This sous-vide costs like 4 times what a sous-vide costs...
these videos are too quick
