Does anyone have a CAD file for the plastic base plate inserts?

Thanks,

Hi, 
Thanks for pointing this out. It really is just a 4mm x 4mm rectangle with rounded edges and a larger top to make gripping the insert by hand easier. We will try to make a model of this soon and upload it to the V4 Miniscope GitHub repo.

Just following up on this.  Shylo Stiteler, the machinist that produces pretty much Miniscope machined parts in the world and also runs the website miniscopeparts.com, saw this post and sent over the design for the baseplate cap. He says this design has been 3D printed by another group a while back seems to work very well. You can the STL file of the cap here: https://github.com/Aharoni-Lab/Miniscope-v4/tree/master/Miniscope-v4-Body-Parts/Protective%20Cap.

Thanks Shylo!
