About this design

The Hex Bookends are a pair of upright hexagons that keep your books standing. A thin tongue slides under the books, so their weight holds the bookend in place. The hexagon is hollow and open at the bottom: fill it with sand, gravel or coins and close it with a self-adhesive felt sheet for extra stability.

  • Hexagon 150 mm wide, 130 mm tall and 26 mm thick
  • Tongue 100 × 95 mm, 2.4 mm thick, with a chamfered front edge
  • Cavity of about 200 cm³ for added weight
  • Prints without supports, digitally checked for printability

Print tips: print the bookend twice, upright as supplied. 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls and 15% infill. Fun with a colour change by layer, for example halfway up the hexagon, or print the two bookends in different colours. The felt sheet to close the bottom is not included.

You get one STL file and one 3MF.

Designer's tip

Print the bookend twice, upright as supplied. Fun with a colour change by layer, for example halfway up the hexagon. To add weight: turn it upside down, fill the cavity with dry sand, gravel or coins and close the bottom with a self-adhesive felt sheet or strong tape. Empty it is light; the books on the tongue then keep it in place.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to add weight?

Not necessarily: the books on the tongue already hold the bookend in place. For a short row or heavy books, a filling of sand or coins helps.

How do I close the cavity?

Turn the bookend over, fill the cavity and close the bottom with a self-adhesive felt sheet or strong tape. The felt also protects your shelf.

How big are the bookends?

The hexagon is 150 mm wide and 130 mm tall. The tongue under the books is 100 × 95 mm.
