I hope you're going to include a slot for the fixer. In fact, I would
recommend dev. - stop bath - fixer 1 - fixer 2.

I think www.darkroomsource.com has some info about a do it yourself print
processor and print washer. Most of the suggestions I've heard about
involves the use of acrylic/fiberglass which can be fitted together and
molded so as to make a nice slotted processor. You could even make a second
one but design it to be a print washer should you want to work with fiber
base paper.
I may look into building one later on this year. I will post back to the
group if I do.
Good luck,
Mark
