#CULTSXBOOK
There's plenty of designs for the thumb-ring page holders that facilitate holding a book open with one hand...but they still require a hand. I've often needed a book held open and had zero free hands, and ended up falling back on a paperweight on the thin side. So, I designed this clamp to pinch it open. It can be used at the spine or on the thin side.
This design takes around 60g of filament and one extra-large binder clip.
Didn't realize this until after I had printed it, but I suppose one could print two of the lower half and use them as a flat clamp for closing a bag or something. I haven't tried but you could. If you have constructive ideas for improvements to this idea, let me know.
