Bookends That Work - Slide on bookends

Description

I have a love hate relationship with books. I love the books but hate traditional bookends. Even the heavy ones can slide on you dumping your books. So I designed these booksends. They slip onto the shelf (19mm or ¾") and hold your books firmly and securely. When you remove a book (this is where most bookends fail) you simply slide the bookend to close the gap and no more book flop.  

Printing

Print on large flat side 

Filament - PLA

Infill - 10-15%

Layer Height - .25-.30mm

Supports - Not needed

Parimeters - 6  works well

Additional Parts - None

Bed Adhesion - You may want some glue stick to ensure good bed adhesion. 

Rafts/Brims - You may want a brim if you have bed adhesion issues. If you use glue stick, you'll probably be fine

Scaling - This can be scaled up or down to fit your shelf size. 

Filament Change - None

Post Printing Notes:  You could glue some cork or other grippy material in the slide part, if your shelf is thinner than the model or you just want extra grippage. I have not found it necessary if you have a good shelf fit. 

Happy Printing!
