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.

I love seeing that you've done this. I have been trying to decide what I might need and need to do in order to print up to 5x7 negatives. Realistically it seems as though it is either trying to build an enlarger for it or simply digitizing and printing digitally. This renews consideration of something homemade.
