3D Printed Beseler 23C Negative Carrier Version 2 (Pick-A-Size)

Description

Notice of Model Update To Version 2
The
original design has worked very well, but one of the downsides has been
the pins are on the top rather than the bottom, which requires
typically mounting the negative upside down (see below). I have found a good solution for this which allows me to place the pins on the
bottom (much like the original carriers).
This is now the default option.
If you would like the older style carriers, just send me a message and I would be happy to accommodate! Note I will be slowly updating the photos to reflect the new design, but not that the photos may not exactly match the new design for the time being.
Summary
A negative carrier for Beseler 23C enlargers (the ones that look like a small skillet). Specify the negative size and frame size of the specific one you are looking for. If your size is
not available or you would like something custom, just let me know!
This carrier functions
in much the same way as the original carriers though it lacks the hinge
mechanism. To make it easier to separate the two carrier halves, I have added finger holds in place of the hinge located on the paddle.
Border / Frame-Size Options
Standard
– the opening is the standard size, either from the OEM or based on the
measurements of the exposed area, to fully mask the negative
Bordered
– the opening is a little larger than standard to expose part of the
rebate of the negative. This is mostly for printing a black border
around your image. Note this can impact flaring.
Full-Frame
– the opening goes all the way to the film edge exposing the entire
rebate (including frame numbers and, for 35mm, sprockets). Due to
potential flatness and flaring issues, this is best used when you want
to specifically print the entire rebate.
Note that the
carriers are frequently updated which is not always reflected in the
photos, particularly given all the combinations. Your specific carrier
may have improvements not otherwise seen in the photos. If you are curious about what those may be, feel free to contact me and I can provide the details and optionally CAD drawings.
These were designed by
me and are printed on demand using Atomic PLA on my modified Prusa MK3s
3D printer. They should bring you years of reliable use when using them
for normal printing sessions as long as they are stored reasonably.
Store them with your lenses (e.g. not in an attic on a hot summer South
Texas day shoved in an unnamed box to be forgotten about for 20 years).
