Stormlight Archives Layered Bookends (Laser and 3dp Files)

Heya! PrintedScript here! 

I'm happy to share my first model!

This is a model that was a long time in the works, though I think I could whip up another one pretty quick and easily now that I've learned from it!

This model was made for Instructable's Made With AI Student contest, and if you want to be able to make your own for one of your favorite books, I highly recommend doing so here! https://www.instructables.com/Literature-in-3D-Crafting-Bookends-With-AI-Assista/ 

I've included the files for the original full model in FUSION360, as well as files (With tolerances) that should allow you to print this on a 3d Printer, along with a DXF file for you to be able to cut with a Lazer! 

For Laser: You know your cutter, way better than I do. As it stands, this file doesn't have Curf for lasering, as all printers are different. The sword centerpiece is a bit fragile due to the size of the walls, and I hope to update this file with an optimized version later. I do recommend adding a few tabs in your cutters software to reduce jittering but ignore any of the inside holes. They are too small to remove easily. The holes in the side and bottom pieces could use a single tab each though (It'll help friction fit). 

For 3DPrinting: I ran out of time to test this before having to get this posted for the contest, but I did make sure to try and include some tolerances! 

I also stuck all of the files in a .ZIP file for ease of download for the Printer files.

I would recommend printing this with a 0.2mm nozzle, just to squeeze out a couple of details from the printer. I also gave you a 0.2mm Tolerance in order to make sure you can get the parts to fit together.

Lemme know how the model turns out if you print it! I'm excited to be able to get feedback from you all and improve my modelling skills!

Sincerely, PrintedScript

Update 6/2/24

Was getting ready to print and test this model for 3d printing today and noticed that Cura set the width of the slice to 4.125mm instead of 4.125 Inches… Will fix… 

May also add a thinner version for faster printing at 100% Infill or doing thin slices of wood for Lazer.

Update 6/3/24

Decided to do a couple tweaks to the 3d model. 

• Updated .3mf file with the tangents removed. Should be easier to view now.
• Added a 0.1mm Chamfer to all of the 3d print models, should help with slotting and preventing elephant's foot on the important areas.
• Changed mesh unit to fix Cura misinterpreting the size of parts.
• Changed .ZIP to a folder for easier file viewing
