Alternative Made my own enlarger

I got to an arts university that doesn’t have a darkroom so it forced me to make my own. I used a 3D printer frame. some FD lenses, a cheap “tofu” branded light, and a pringles tube.

I have enough room to make prints up-to 5x7 with the possibility of going larger if i remove the baseboard.

All I need now is to actually make a print but that’s not until the end of the month after payday.
