Description
When reading an ebook, it's a shame that it can't be displayed in a shelf as an actual book. To solve this, I made this design.
What to change in the files?
I already provide the STL of the 3 rows version, which I think is the most pleasing one. And I don't think anyone is going to use more than 4.
The book is a remix from here: https://www.printables.com/model/197996-tiny-secret-book. I changed the proportions to the ones of a sheet of paper, made it solid and added the holes for the magnets, that you can also change in the solid file. However, you cannot change the dimensions of the book itself. Right now it's 40 mm tall.
For the covers I use photoshop, then I print them in 200 grams paper. Here is a tutorial:
Changed the design to just glue it to the lid, easier and better looking. I'll leave both of them so you can choose the one you like.
Changed the parameters to make them easier to understand. You can change the height, diameter, number of columns per row, and to change the number of rows it's easier to just cut the model in the slicer.
Never, ever, use super glue for the magnets, it produces vapors that stain the glass, the books and everything. Use epoxi.
