Bookend of Enjin | Gachiakuta Fan Art 🗑

Figure, base to the right and base to the left are included.

• Figure thickness: 3 mm.

• Measurements (figure+base): 180 x 142 x 81 millimeters.

• Weight: ±120 grams.

It can be printed without AMS by adding the breaks in the layers exposed below and changing the filament, although it is easier using the AMS.

It can be printed with a 0.4 mm noozle. Actually, the files are optimized for 0,4 mm noozles.

Four colors are needed for the figure: black, dark gray, silver/light gray and white. I recommend printing the base in black.

The figure fits in the slot of the base and has to be glued. There are two versions:

• Right: this is the default location and is the one you have to use if you are going to put the bookend to the right of the books.

• Left: use it to place the bookend to the left of the books. Important: remember to mirror the figure on your slicer before printing it!

To glue the figure to the base I recommend a transparent glue such as Bostik 820 and avoid Loctite / Super Glue, as it can cause white stains as a result of the glue curing in humid environments.

To improve adhesion, I recommend adding four silicone tears to the bottom of the base, as shown in the photos. You can find them at any DIY or stationery store.

Print made and verified using Recyled PLA from Smart Materials:
- Black
- Dark gray
- Silver
- White

Can I sell this bookends? ⛔
