About The Standard 4x5
In 2014, just after buying my first 3d printer, I started to play with 3d printing a 4x5 view camera. Throughout the process, I have improved my modeling and printing skills. After about seven months of testing and experimenting I had my first working prototype. From there I started perfecting the camera. About a year ago, the camera reached a point where it was reliable and fun to use. From there, I made more and shared them with colleagues and acquaintances to receive feedback. At a certain point I named it The Standard 4x5, and now I am ready to share it with everyone!
