Description
I created these bookends for the shelf in my daughter's room.
Visually, the bookends are based on the Joy-Con controllers of the Nintendo Switch.
The two bookends consist of a total of six parts. After printing, the parts for both sides can simply be clicked together.
The original controller on the right has white lettering on the buttons. To make this printable too, the component is made up of several bodies, which can be assigned an alternative color in the slicer and printed as a multi-material part. Use 'Split to Parts' option in your slicer to show the lettering.
I have stored my own PrusaSlicer print settings for the Prusa MK4 (manual color change shortly before the end of printing) in a 3mf file here.
I printed the colored parts in Extrudr PETG cyan / light blue and Extrudr PETG neon red and used Prusament PETG jet black for the black parts.
My print settings:
For the basic parts I used 6 perimeters and 25% infill. Supports are needed for the protruding part in the middle. I used paint-on supports in PrusaSlicer.
For the rest, I used the standard settings of the MK4 STRUCTURAL profile and no supports. Both parts I named KeyPad have to be flipped on the build plate. The other parts can be printed as they come.
Variable layer heights are a good choice. Especially for bringing out the details in the two inserts.
Over the last few weeks, I have created a few CAD models that have helped me here and there or given me pleasure.
I have now uploaded some of them to Printables. If you are interested, please take a look at my designs.
