Just a regular guy designing prints for the masses. 

Hey Everyone!

Meet The Warden, an unyielding guardian forged to stand eternal watch over forgotten knowledge and ancient halls. 

Featuring a commanding horned visage framed by ornate Gothic stonework, this fantasy-inspired bookend embodies the legendary protectors said to guard castles, hidden libraries, and long-lost sanctuaries. Weighted for dependable support, The Warden is both a functional bookend and a striking display piece, bringing timeless mystery and medieval character to any bookshelf or collection.

I set the print to pause at two points (layer 142 and 419) so you can add weight if desired. I put in about 100 grams of copper BB's but you could use whatever you like or just restart the print without anything. The little extra weight will help resist books from leaning over. I also had some cork pads left over from making bar coasters that i added to the bottom. This could easily be scaled larger.

NOTE:

Scaling a model is simple, just open the file, click on the model, then click on the square inside the bigger square with the arrow on the tool bar. Next be sure “uniform scale” is selected in the box that appears, and your set you can change it to whatever size you like

Assembly Instructions:

when the print pauses fill the voids at the bottom between infill evenly, make sure to keep the weights below the top layer, wipe the top of the print with a clean rag damp with fresh isopropyl alcohol to avoid any adhesion issues, (the BBs may have oil on them) tap resume.
