Counterbalanced Baby Yoda Bookend

First, all credit to Bignozz for the original idea and design.  Check out the original Low-Poly Baby Yoda book stand / book end and download the low-poly Baby Yoda model.  My stand should also work with his Darth Vader model.

I found that using several fairly heavy books in my display caused the base to flex up away from the shelf.  Also, a number of folks have noted that the whole assembly tends to slide away from the books.  To address both of these issues, I thought of adding a counterbalance/anchor under the books.  I also bumped the base thickness up to 5mm for a little more stiffness.  I don't find that either of these changes has any negative effect on the aesthetics of the display and makes the whole model more stable.

I've included both a 1-piece design that will just fit on a 235x235 print bed when printed with a 5mm brim.  I've also included a 2-piece design so that the counterbalance can be printed separately to fit on a smaller bed.  All versions are available with or without the positioning peg for the figurine.

Printing Parameters:

I printed everything at .2mm layer height in PLA. 

1-piece versions and Main Stand for 2-piece:

• Print on edge for strength
• 8 perimeters/walls - maximum stiffness
• 5mm brim
• 50% infill - if you use the recommended wall settings, this is only filling the center of the Y
• Supports on for peg, optional for other configurations.

2-piece Counterbalance:

• Print flat on bed
• 3 perimeters/walls is probably plenty
• I would still use a higher infill if using 3 walls.  I used 50%
• No brim!
• Supports on for the connector pins.
