Assuming you were talking about the PCB carrier and not a normal DIP package carrier, it turned out to be possible to generate a 24-pin version of the carrier right from the existing .scad file without even editing it, by supplying overrides for two variables on the commandline.

For the pcb I had to copy and edit.

There's a 24-pin version of the carrier and pcb here now:

I'll probably knock up a version that takes a normal DIP-24 instead of a pcb too but not today.

Don't bother trying to print the carrier at home. Generally you just need SLS for this. And specifically SLS, not MJF.

I believe the little Panasonic notebook also used a 24 pin version.

    Is it really the same shapes & dimensions but only fewer pins? I can
    make that into a variable no problem, where you change 28 to whatever,
    and it generates a 2-to-whatever pin version.

    A little bit later tonight.
