I need a 645 holder for my LPL 4500. I found this bloke from France making them and just wanted to know if anyone has them. Are they good quality? Do they get the job done?

Mods, please move this to darkroom equipment if you think it's more appropriate there.

I bought a 3D printed 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 negative carrier for my Beseler 23C on Ebay and it works fine.

Just examine them carefully for any burrs or filament strands that might have been missed. Depending on the material used to print them, you can sometimes acetone smooth the surfaces (vapor-fume), but I have not done that; it seems fine.

Thanks for the tips, did you buy from the eBay seller I posted?

A 200-400 grit sanding also helps to make this smooth

The seller does not mention the material, and this would be my first question. The heat from the enlarger would damage many material.
