I would think that the window screens would be fine as long as you batch wash.I would stay away from copper and just use the PVC. I thought I read that copper in the process is a bad thing, or was just in the developer tray? Also I would think that fiberglass screens would be your best choice. Making this washer looks like it would be cheap enough to build a few, in different sizes. Start small and test it, if it works then build the next size up. One thing that has always bothered me about the large plexi washer is my prints seemed to want to stick to the plexi dividers. This washer would seem to solve that.
