The first Book nook! Frankenstein's Laboratory (Patreon)

Hello! Me again!!! :) So here's my first attempt at a book nook! Although i am pretty happy with it, i have failed some parts of the design. 

First, because of the arch at the top, the project is not what i want regarding the filament consumption. Most of the other parts are very small and doesnt require lot of filament, but the brick section is consumming a deceiving 300g approximately. I'm sorry for that, i will work on that for the next ones. I will also try to make an update eventualy for this one, with less material needed. 

Second; I wasnt able to fit the thing on a Mini bed... To be an acceptable size for a book nook, it needs to be this big, and making the large parts in two or three parts was difficult without having a joint or a crack somewhere in the bricks... I will have to work on this too. Sorry for that my friends.

Third: Its ALMOST support free... But with the counterbores at the top of the brick section, some supports are needed. That's the only part requiring supports, all the other parts are support free. 

I am actually experiencing with sequential bridging (Thanks to Maker Muse) for holes like that, and if everything goes right, i will use this method in the future for counterbores and similar sections to make them totally support free. 

Now the cool stuff!!!

This book nook is super easy to light up! 

You will need two battery operated tealights. That's it!!! Two cavities are located at the top, in which you can insert a tealight to light up the whole scene. With a flickering effect, it is simply amazing! 

You can modify the scene! Some parts have a specific place, with indentations in the floor to glue them in place. But all the other parts can be position anywhere in the scene, so you can make your own custom book nook, just the way you want it! 

Like my other projects, it can be printed on any regular printer. For the multicolor parts, it can be done with a simple color change at height. If you are not familiar with color change at height, send me a private message, and i will help you with pleasure! A complete Bambulab project file is included (3mf) with settings and colors already set.

As usual, follow the instructions carefully, and make some dry fit checks (without glue) at every step. 

I will try to make a list of the used filament in the next days, but i forgot to keep track of the filament used while working on the project. Will see what i can do with that. 

In any case, consider this as a first trial and if you have any kind of questions, feel free to send me a private message. Suggestions regarding the build will be welcome too. 

Keep printing my friends!!! Pascal
