Here's the second version of a bookend that I've been working on. This version has a lip extending under the book making it more effective at holding back the weight.
I have seen this online here and I have to say it is incredible! Wanted to buy a couple but cost was more than I could afford. Nevertheless, one of my favorite models.
Thanks! FYI: I've just lowered the price to about $20 over cost. Even at cost I still think it's too expensive. It would be wonderful if we observed dramatic price decreases in the 3d printing sector of the economy like we do in the electronics sector.
I am guessing they are solid which is why the cost is what it is. Maybe consider making them hollow considering they slip under the books. Either way. They look fantastic!
This is one of my favorites on Shapeways. We featured your bookend on our blog earlier this year. Check it out https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/2404-10-extrordinary -things-you-wont-believe-are-3d-printed.html?%2Farchives%2F2 404-10-extrordinary-things-you-wont-believe-are-3d-printed_h tml=
