The Binding Proposition — Free Mini Folio Storage Tome by Syllogy

A case worth opening.

Oxblood leather texture and warm gold ornament give The Binding Proposition the character of a vintage hardcover, with useful storage behind the binding. This free Mini Folio starter is an original Syllogy tome design for dice, small tabletop accessories, keepsakes, or a bookshelf display.

WHAT YOU GET

• Matching front cover, spine, and back cover with printable leather texture and inlaid ornament.

• Rail-mounted page holder that can mount to either cover.

• Lift-out three-compartment tray.

• Hidden spine compartment with magnetic lid.

• Printed hinge rods and stoppers.

• Monochrome and two-color binding options; choose one.

SIZE AND MATERIALS

Nominal closed size: 175 × 150 × 60 mm. This download includes the Mini Folio, 60 mm thickness only.

Designed around a nominal 180 mm build cube. Check your printer's usable build area, height, and room for adhesion features before printing.

Use PLA or PETG and a 0.4 mm nozzle. You will also need sixteen 5 × 2 mm disc magnets and suitable adhesive.

The 3MF files are unsliced and use millimeters. Apply your own printer and filament settings.

FILES AND PRINT ORIENTATION

1. Print ONE binding: 01_Binding_Upright_Monochrome.3mf OR 01_Binding_Upright_Two_Color.3mf.

2. Print 02_Holder.3mf.

3. Print 03_Removable_Three_Compartment_Tray.3mf.

4. Print 04_Lid_Pins_and_Stoppers.3mf.

This makes ten printed pieces in total. Both binding files contain the same aligned assembly; the two-color version includes separate color regions.

Keep the binding as one multipart object, in the supplied positions and orientation, at 100% scale. Do not separate or rearrange its component parts. Use the supplied orientations: binding upright; holder and tray floor-down; lid exterior-face-down; rods on their flats; stoppers upright. Read START_HERE before slicing or assembling.

ASSEMBLY

1. Let prints cool. Remove the brim and loose filament. Keep paint and adhesive out of moving interfaces.

2. Fit one hinge rod per axis and its matching stopper. Do not force a tight fit.

3. Slide the holder along the cover rails; do not press it straight down. Either cover can hold the holder.

4. Dry-fit all magnets and test every pair before gluing. The cover magnets should present the same pole inward; the holder's mating faces should present the opposite pole. The spine/lid pairs can use their own matched polarity.

5. Use four magnets across the two covers, four in the holder, and eight for the four spine/lid pairs. Load the holder's lower magnets from inside onto their seating lips.

6. Allow the adhesive to cure, then fit the tray and compartment lid. Check movement and retention before adding contents.

This is an organizer, not a sealed container: small items may move if it is inverted. Test your own contents and magnet retention before transporting it in a bag.

COLOR AND PREVIEWS

The leather texture and ornament are modeled geometry. Print in one color and paint, or assign contrasting filaments to the two-color binding. The preview images are digital renders, not photographs of physical prints; they show suggested colors.

AI tools assisted the design workflow; the supplied files are authored, dimensioned printable geometry.

PERSONAL-USE LICENSE

No file redistribution, remixing, or commercial printing without prior written permission. See the supplied Syllogy Personal-Use Model License for full terms. Syllogy additionally permits occasional noncommercial gifts of finished physical prints to friends and family, routine slicer preparation, assembly, and painting as described in that license. Do not share the digital files; share the listing link instead.
