Have you been in MrCad store close to Victoria station? I was there a few weeks ago and they had very nice selection of used Durst enlargers. Maybe they have accessories too? For all my Durst enlargers I used AN glass on the top and made my own negative inserts from metal sheet for bottom part
As for AN glass long time ago I bought spares for Meopta Magnifax 6x9 and using them ever since.
Main thing is to find right metal thickness, then using drill press, dremel and manual files cut them to the size. Make beveled edges on the bottom! You friend can help you for sure!
What I noticed with MrCad - there is no Deal! For my Canadian sense prices are pretty steep! I left store happily without buying anything!
Yes, that is elegant way of doing it. Keep one insert for 35mm and enlarge opening of other insert for 6x7Yeah I think using a 35mm adapter built for the M670 and enlarging the hole would be the best bet.
Do it yourself! It's fun! Think and work on your skills!but I need to find cheaper alternatives for the time being.
Magnifax glass inserts were bigger and had to be cut to Durst M800 and M605 size.

Thingiverse has 3D printer files for Durst lens boards and "SIXMA" inserts, n.b. a lot of enlargers used SIXMA/SIVOPAR inserts and the AN glass including the M600, M601, M605, and the M370 (SIXMA inserts are singles to be used on the bottom of the carrier with a glass top insert, SIVOPAR sets are top and bottom insert sets, in some sizes the top and bottom inserts are the same, in other sets the insert for the top of the carrier is slightly larger). Good hunting!
Hey Mike,
That's a hell of a tip, thank you!
Yeah I've got Sixma / Sivoma 35 so understand the concept: AN glass has been recommended to me, but I notice a Sivoma 67 was available so I'm definitely keen to try it out, especially if I can get it printed.
Have you any experience in 3D printed parts? I've had an outsider interest for some time but no experience myself.
Back in the day I also "modded" carriers for other enlargers (mostly Bogen) so that all that was left were inserts that would fit the carrier.
