Ode to film photography:

Too costly to click and too treasured to sell. Now you'll live out your days on a a bookcase shelf.

That heavy glass can hold books in place while it sits there looking pretty. Print with a Hasselblad rear lens cap mount, or with a 75mm open cylinder. 

How to Print:

The rear lens cap lock needs supports. The circle cutout should import print ready and parallel to the print bed, turn on Supports Everywhere and they will apply to only the four overhanging lens mount faces.

Display Options:

The bookend is ready to stand with the lens in two orientations. I plan to use it primarily in the vertical position with the lens ‘sitting’.    

Horizontal Orientation
Vertical Orientation

Download a scaled option to properly frame a variety of lenses: 150mm, 60 mm, or 80mm. A taller bookend can also be printed. The 80mm with a lens hood fits on the 150/60mm base. Remember, the 80mm is lighter and shorter and will resist less book load. 

There is a new answer to, “Hey honey maybe it's time to sell some lenses.” We need those lenses to hold the books in place. 

Bookend Functionality:

Tested in both orientations with several heavy books. Add grip tape or a layer of TPU to quickly hold more books in place. 

Horizontal Orientation
Vertical Orientation

Printed in transparent purple PETG.

Break those lenses out every chance you get, long live film ect etc.
