You have far too much time on your hands.
Also, I am massively impressed with how you are using it.

I was always haunted by the fear of breaking my thermometer.
I've overcome that.
And with the square ends, it can't roll off the table either 🙂
If anyone needs a different length than 30 cm or a different inner diameter than 10 mm, please let me know.

By the looks of your thermometer you have less reason to be scared than me; I am still using a mercury one 😰

Yep, it is not a mercury thermometer. But I'm not afraid because of the mercury, just about the glass splinters that will then lying on the floor and I know who will step on them.
And in confidence, when I/we were kids, there were only mercury thermometers, and we survived.
Yes, mercury is toxic. But you won't drop dead if your thermometer breaks; don't worry.
More people die from alcohol poisoning than from mercury poisoning.
I'd be happy to swap my alcohol thermometer for your mercury thermometer.
By the way, the first test print for the developer tank distances is currently running.
For the 2-reel tank and the 3-reel tank, I came up with a total of seven (7) different distances using all options.

I have a couple of Mercury in Glass (MIG) thermometers, and they came in a tube like the one Alspman made.
I rarely use them anymore since I acquired a few good quality thermocouple readers (Fluke) and calibrate them with ice water (0 +/- 0.1C) every few months

Shamefully I confess, normally I use a battery driven digital thermometer, the analog is my backup in case of a MCA. Because a battery ist then empty when all shops are closed.

Thanks to the suggestion of "WoodallP," I've drawn spacers for the Paterson film tank.
The spacers are available in seven (7) different lengths. They depend on whether you're developing only one 135 film or one 120 film in a 2-reel tank. Or one 135 and one 120 film in a 3-reel tank, or only two 135 films in a 3-reel tank, or...
The spacers are symmetrical, so it doesn't matter which side you insert them onto the center column first.
The recesses at the ends also prevent them from rolling off the table.
If I've forgotten a reel combination or length, please let me know. The error will be corrected immediately.
. . .
Now I can finally throw away the cut-off plastic tubes I have been using.

It’s an emotion thing for me, the mercury thermometer is the only piece of darkroom kit I have which I was using when I first started at 13 years old. Over 45 years later it is still with me. I had a big gap in the middle but the thermometer stayed with me. I used to mix my own ID-11 from scratch back then; I’m lazy now.

Central column for Paterson developing tank.
While designing Joao's central column for the Paterson developing tank with a reduced outer diameter, the central columns with the original dimensions were a byproduct. If anyone needs these as a replacement part because theirs has gone missing, broken, or for whatever reason...
