This simple arch bookend has a minimal back foot. Printed in duotone PLA, it looks neat and is plenty sturdy. It's roughly 120mm wide by 160mm tall. Inside base (the part that goes under the books) is roughly 80mm deep and 1.4mm thick, which seems to be enough to hold. Upright arch is 4mm thick and has no problem with a shelf of books. The back foot is about 15mm at its widest part. The elliptical cutout is designed so that the arch prints without supports.
The only annoyance is that the PLA starts to slide when leaning an excessive number of books against it. A thin non-slip sticker on the bottom could help, but I'm not going to bother because for standard use with 40cm – 50cm of books, it's just a non-issue.
