Winged Book Stand + Adjustable Tilt & Page Holder

Winged Book Stand

Description

Winged Book Stand is an adjustable reading stand with independent page holders and a feather-inspired backrest. It supports books at multiple viewing angles while keeping pages open hands-free. It was designed for incorporating my 3D design skills ;). Could be used for small books or devices like mobile phones, tablets, etc. or for presentation of small paintings, posters. Small fingers can be attached to hold the book pages in place - lock and unlock them to change the position.

Mechanics

The Book Shelf supports the object on the Holder.
The Holder can be tilted and adjusted in 7 positions from 45-90 degrees.
The Support can be detached and all the parts can be then laid flat on the table for minimum space.

Printing

PETG recommended! You can try PLA, but might be too brittle.

The whole project is divided in 3 plates:

1) Winged Holder

2) Base, Support, Book Shelf and Fingers

these could be printed in:

• 0.20 Layer Height

• 5 Walls

• 20% Gyroid Infill

• 5mm outside brim if you want to be on the safe side

• support is suggested for the Support element and 45 degrees orientation for best strength

3) Connectors

these should be printed in:

• 0.12 Layer Height or lower

• 5 Walls

• 100% Rectilinear Infill

• 5mm outside brim

Assembly

Print all the parts. You can use the printed screws and nuts or use metal parts:

• 2x M3x10 countersunk screw

• 2x M3x40 countersunk screw

• 4x M3 nuts

Holder + Fingers

M3x40 screw -> Finger -> Finger Pipe -> Holder -> M3 nut

Holder + Book Shelf

2x M3x10 screw -> Bookshelf -> Holder -> M3 nut

The nuts should neatly fit in the slots at the back of the Holder, so the whole body looks solid and clean.

Then you attach Support to Holder and place both on the Base - that's it!

Disclaimer

The model has been printed, tested and corrected. Still learning though, so don't hesitate to add some suggestions if you print the project!
