Description: Graflex 4x5 Build BoardThis 3-d printed board can be the next step to your photographic life with your Graflex 4x5 camera or any camera you own that uses either 4x5 Graflock or the older 4x5 Graflex cut film holders. First about the board you are buying. This board is printed 5mm thick- which is exactly the distance to the film plane. I gave you a 5mm thickness on the outside frame, and a 3mm interior plane that you can custom cut, Dremel, file, or grind to the shape you need to attach your custom project! So to make this more clear- if you were to mount a sheet of frosted glass to the completely flat surface after cutting a view out of it, you would have a ground glass. Whatever you cut and mount to this just needs to have its film plane at the 5mm flat. Note- this is for the DIY type- if you don't have some DIY chops you may have a learning curve( I love working with a Dremel, though!). The examples are for a different type of back, but the same applies to the Graflex backs. I printed solid tops and bottoms with fill at 50 percent(much more than the average 20 percent fill that typical 3-d objects are printed). This board can be drilled and Dremeled with ease, but it is not soft, so it holds up fine to mounting hardware. I printed it solid so you can choose(based on your project) how much you want to cut away. This is to keep it as rigid as possible, only cutting away what you need to in order to make it work! What the board is for: If you own a Graflex 4x5 or any other 4x5, you may like considering other possibilities than the ones readily available. As long as you get your film plane right(a total of 5mm from the back of the camera) then you can rig anything you want to the back of this! This DIY method will allow you to not only rig a 120 back to it but also anything else you can rig(maybe an Instax mini or wide grafted onto the backfire up the Dremel!). You could also make your own ground glass quite easily. Or you can go seriously Lomo and graft on a couple 35mm plastic cameras, a Diana or Holga!You are buying the board shown clearly in the pictures. You bring ideas! I hope you have a great time inventing the next great back for this camera! About me: I am an artist, college professor, creative photographer, and maker. I sell mostly Polaroid cameras, shoot mostly analog, and love to hack things. I am and have always been a huge fan of the DIY movement. I have a blog called Lo-Fi and DIY(lofianddiy).Check out my other build boards, creative solutions, and cameras! Note: I put 10 business days handling on my custom camera backs because I make them to order. I often come in at earlier than that time, but sometimes I experience a lot of orders(not complaining!), so I will likely need a lot of that time to get it built and shipped to you. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding! Aaron
