WayPoint - Bookmark for the United States Semiquincentennial (USA 250)

Overview

WayPoint Bookmark — The250 Series #001

GIVE ME LIBERTY

America doesn’t turn 250 every day.

This is WayPoint, the first release in The250 Series — a collection of designs created to honor the grit, resolve, and grace that shaped this country and continue to sustain it.

WayPoint is a 3D-printed bookmark designed to do one thing well:
hold your place without damaging your book — whether that book is a field journal, a paperback, or something worth passing down.

The phrase “GIVE ME LIBERTY” is drawn directly from American history, a shortened echo of Patrick Henry’s 1775 call that helped ignite a nation. Paired with the Grit & Grace anvil mark and the 1776–2026 seal, this piece is meant to feel less like an accessory and more like a small, everyday artifact.

Quiet. Strong. Intentional.

This is the first marker along the way to America’s 250th birthday.

Design Notes

• Slim, rigid profile — thin enough to protect bindings

• Rounded corners for page and hand comfort

• Vertical text layout keeps the face clean and readable

• Designed to feel like a tool, not a novelty

Works equally well in:

• Field journals

• Paperbacks

• Hardcovers

• Reference books

Print Settings

The project includes two versions:

• Full color swap files for the complete emblem experience

• Single-color files for a clean, minimalist look

Recommended settings:

• Layer height: 0.1 mm

• Supports: None

• Orientation: Flat on the build plate

• Material: PLA or PETG both work great

Color swaps are already built into the project files — just follow the pauses if you want the full-color result.

The250 Series

WayPoint is The250 Series #001 — the first in a growing lineup of designs created to mark, celebrate, and reflect on America’s 250th anniversary.

More pieces are coming.
This is just the first point on the map.

Grit & Grace

Built with grit.
Sustained by grace.
Grateful for the freedom to make things — and the country that makes it possible.
