Description

Inspired by the award winning A-3575 Firm Book End by LIHIT LAB, the Modular Stand-Up Bookstand has been designed to be easily 3D printed and assembled.

This style of bookstand allows for easy organizing of your books without worry of them falling over. The triangle holds on the bookstand rotate to hold your books individually. This allows you to add and remove books without having any of your books topple over. Your books will be able to stand on their own without support from other books or the sides of your shelf.

Originally, my fiance showed me this design and asked if there were any stores selling something similar in the USA. After some searching, I was unable to find any domestic options for us, so I decided instead of ordering overseas and waiting for it to come in, I could design and print it in under 6 hours!

The design features 14 triangles holds that are 10 mm each. The bookstands can also be connected modularly with the provided snap connectors to elongate the design. Because it uses snap connectors, the sides of the shelf can be placed flush against the sides of your shelves. This design has also been tested on the X1C, A1, and A1 mini.

There are some structural additions that strengthen the model as well as minimize wobble for printing on bedslingers like the A1 and A1 mini. Lastly, the triangle holds have a small visual notch to help make sure that they're all aligned correctly.

Assembly Instructions:

The model is easily assembled, the rod slides into the hexagonal holes on the main base. Slide the rod into one side only and then add in the triangle holds.

The triangle holds have a little notch to indicate that that side of the triangle hold should face to the left:

The final result will have 14 triangle holds all attached and freely rotating on the rod:

This book stand looked interesting to me. I'm still trying to figure out where to use it. Printed in brown Bambu Basic PLA with .4 nozzle. Did not have to change any of the parameters in the .3mf file. Printed perfectly as downloaded. Great modeling.

Good print when printed as is works for hardcover books. Doesn’t work as well with softcover books or textbooks unless maybe you can scale up the triangle parts to support larger books.
