Connectors for wooden block book stand

📚 Bookstand Connectors – Wood & 3D Print Combination

These 3D printed connectors are specially designed for a minimalist book stand that combines wooden blocks (standard size 160mmx22mmx8mm) with printed components. The design combines natural materials with modern manufacturing technology – stable, functional, and decorative at the same time.

The connectors hold the wooden slats at a stable A-frame angle, ensuring a secure stand while the book is displayed open.

🪵 Required Materials

Wooden blocks of standard size 160mmx22mmx8mm → 6 side by side - length as desired

3D printed connectors (files included)

Wood glue for bonding the blocks - super glue (Kraftplotz for bonding the blocks to the connectors)
