This bookend design (BookEnd.3mf) maintains its lean aesthetic thanks to a clamp mechanism that keeps both bookends together. This design (previously used in https://www.printables.com/model/453310-one-piece-minimalistic-bookends ) avoids bulky parts while allowing easy access to all the books. The two-part clamp mechanism is inserted into the holes of the bookend, and there exist two versions for different distances between bookends: from 4 to 7.5 cm (Clamp_short.3mf) and from 8 to 14 cm (Clamp_short.3mf). Additionally, there is an extension (Clamp_extension.3mf) that allows to increase the length from 1 to 4 cm approx. For additional strength, two clamps can be inserted (upper and lower holes). 

Moreover, this design allows three modifications:

  1. Minimal: Just the basic frame. To make it look like a solid piece, fit piece in NoMod.3mf on the back part.
  2. Filled: bookend acts like a frame, such that piece in Fill_void.3mf  fits on its back part. As an example, Fill_Japanese.3mf is designed using a japanese pattern.
  3. Cover: A front cover is placed over the bookend such that a piece in Cover_void.3mf fits on its front part. A color change can be performed in this piece if the design is extruded into the piece 1mm. As an example, Cover_LOTR.3mf is designed using the JRR Tolkien logo. 

New modifications and styles will be available soon!

All models have been printed using draft mode settings in Cura slicer (layer height of 0.28mm) and can be joined together without glue!
