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.
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.

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.

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

Printed in transparent purple PETG.
Break those lenses out every chance you get, long live film ect etc.
