Bookshelf for my Fromsoftware books 📚🔧

📌 Overview

I bought about 1000 yuan (212 aud) worth of Fromsoftware Books, and i need a bookshelf for it. At the start i was browsing online for cool bookshelf, but all of them are either too complicated for my old, not so high quality seconded handed ender 3 pro, too small or i just dont like the style. So i just ended designing a really simple book shelf that is also big enough to fit all my books. The bookshelf is split into two halves, with a simple joint mechanism to connect the two.

Through this small project, I developed critical thinking through measurements and designing, I also had an introduction on tolerance and joint mechanism.

Outcome: A bookshelf that is big enough for my books!

rough brainstorm of the bookshelf design.

💡 Joint Mechanism

I took inspiration of this random bookshelf design on makerworld, it uses this joint mechanism (i dont know the name of this)

This is the one im talking about.



I adapted this idea into my bookshelf and it was a lot more simple.

Making sure it works first so I did a test print, and it worked well.



In addition…

Now you can infinitely extend the bookshelf yea!!.


FINAL

Looked just as expected, the joint still works, after connection it remains stable.
