Intrepid 4x5 MK2 Ground Glass Cover

thingiverse

This is an alternative to the ground glass protector that ships with the Intrepid 4x5. There are ground glass protectors that can be purchased (and are likely a better choice depending on what sorts of things you are thinking may hit the ground glass) but this was fun, quick, and very Intrepid. The troughs along the sides house the elastic that holds the ground glass to the camera and the lip on the sides help keep it centered. I made two versions - one with shallower/longer troughs for the elastic and one with deeper ones (that's also a little thinner). I think I prefer the second version but provided both. The first version might hold a little better but I didn't like stretching the elastic as much.
