Thanks Sam, I'm a long way from Sydney but worst case I could route some hinged aluminium masks on the CNC once I've set it up, or just use cardboard for now!
G'day everyone,
I'm rebuilding a portable darkroom and chasing a hard to find neg carrier for my 6x7 enlarger. It is the for LPL 6x7 that was rebranded across many markets, here is a list of makes:
Saunders/LPL 67D
Omega/LPL C76
Jobo/LPL C5700
Rollei RDE 6x7
Honeywell Nikor 6x7
Fuji CF670...
I've cobbled mine together with just the head only as there is very little available where I am in rural Australia. Make sure to check it has the correct sized diffusion box for medium format, the bulb is 12VAC so you want to run it off a transformer or replace with something else.
Yet to use...
I have the same one and desperately need the 6x7 carrier for it. I believe it shares the same carrier design as 3301D and various Lucky/Fujimoto/Nikor/Rollei enlargers which should be compatible.

Cool, I wonder if its due to the light source -- looks like you are using the high collimated one that came with the printer but swapped the LEDs? eg condenser vs diffusion enlarger, not that it practically matters in this case.
I'm not sure why everyone is suggesting LVT if the OP wants 35mm. While it it is possible it's quite painful to setup with anything other than sheet film, which will probably cost you more in the end.
Yeh no idea, I am not sure they even managed to make any units there was a kickstarter with no results. It looked promising at the time, in terms of costs coming down but not much progress since 2023 aside from your project of course.
I've probably posted this before, but this reminds me of a...
I recall not too long ago a light engine available out of China for a far more reasonable price.

This had its remjet removed and confectioned in China, but may point towards some kind of damage in the confectioning process (could combination of manufacturing defect also).
