3D-Printing-Optimized Bookend

1. Medium-sized lightweight bookend inspired by xyzaxis's Lightweight Bookend (Thingiverse).
2. Larger version with a couple cross-supports in weak areas.

Simple, low-filament usage.

The lower end of the vertical portion is not attached to the bottom, which removes a strain point where it would otherwise fail under heavier load.

Prints with a small disc at the skinny end to decrease the chance of it peeling off the bed; clip it off after printing. Also consider printing with a brim.
