Hey guys.
I use a Jobo 7451 enlarger (known as LPL 74500 II outside Europe). I bought it a few years ago used and it only came with the glass carrier for 4x5 negatives. I used black paper to mask 35mm and 120 film negatives but that really was cumbersome.
Since about a year I also have a 3d printer in my basement (Creality Ender 5 pro) and decided that I will make my own carrier. I took all measures of the 4x5 carrier and made a design in Fusion 360. It is adjustable for all film sizes, I personally have printed it for 35 mm (24x36), 6x6 and 6x7 by now. Works perfectly
If any of you owns a Jobo / LPL / Saunders 4x5 enlarger and needs some negative carriers and has access to a 3d printer you can download them at thingiverse.com (you need to be logged in for the link to work, otherwise you will see a 404 fault):
The filenames give the cutout size. I prepared carriers for 24x36, 24x65 (XPAN), 645, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9. If you need anything else, let me know, it can be adjusted in minutes.

Film carrier for LPL / Saunders / Jobo 4x5 enlargers 35 mm and 120 film (7450 7451 7452) by Tholat
Since new film carriers for my Hobo 7451 are not available anymore in Germany and ordering from the only remaining provider in Canada is quite costly, I made my own film carrier for 35 mm film and 120 film. I use the 58.0x58.0 carrier for square medium format and usually 36.4x24.4 for 35 mm...
