Dark Box for 4x5 sheet film

thingiverse

This is a "dark box" designed specifically to store exposed 4x5'' film sheets safely. The box itself is lightproof, making it an ideal solution for keeping your sensitive films protected. However, as an added precaution, consider placing the exposed films in a black plastic bag before storing them inside the box. This will provide an extra layer of protection against any potential light leaks. To ensure the box remains securely closed, you can use rubber bands to seal it tightly. I've found that printing the box with black PLA is a great option, but feel free to experiment with other filaments like ABS or PETG if you prefer. The key is to keep the color consistent - in this case, a dark color will help maintain the box's lightproof properties. I've printed numerous boxes for different film types and exposures, and I can confidently say they work fantastically well. They're incredibly useful tools that make it easy to organize and store your exposed films. To take things to the next level, consider adding a label or sticker with relevant information such as the film brand, type, ISO rating, development method, and number of sheets exposed. For example, you could include details like: "Ilford FP4+ @100 N Dev." and "Sheets: IIII".
