Slim bookend pair with anti-slip base

A pair of L-shaped bookends that keep manuals and notebooks upright on a desk or open shelf. Each bookend has a 150 mm tall upright, a 120 mm deep base plate only 3 mm thick so books slide over it, and a 15 mm rear return that stiffens the corner. A 6 mm fillet at the base-to-upright joint takes the bending load, and four 8 mm pockets underneath accept rubber bumpers. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Example prompt

Create a pair of L-shaped bookends each with a 150 x 120 mm upright 4 mm thick, a 120 mm deep base plate 3 mm thick, a 15 mm rear return, 6 mm fillet at the base joint, four 8 mm pockets underneath for rubber bumpers.

This prompt comes with the ready-made model when you sign in, in case you want the AI to redesign it (3 credits a redesign); changing numbers in the viewer is free.

Fit notes

Tall art books or short paperbacks need different upright heights, and a shelf that is 180 mm deep needs a shorter base than one at 300 mm. Tell SpeakCAD those dimensions, preview the pair in the browser, ask for a cut-out monogram or a slot for a pen, and download the STL once the proportions match your shelf.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
