"Invisible" Hardcover Book Wall Mount

thingiverse

I've got some fantastic photo albums with nice large format pictures printed on the front of them. They were just sitting on a shelf, and I was thinking about getting some photos printed for the wall when it hit me that I needed to print some brackets to hang them. It took some time figuring out the right angle, but then I realized I needed a cutout for the back cover because the front cover sits outside of the bracket. I wanted the font cover to sit outside of it so that the bracket hides inside the recess between the covers since hardcover books have smaller pages than their covers. I had some issues keeping the covers closed and was thinking about making a small clip, but then I realized if I tucked the flap of the sleeve behind the pages, the front cover would stay put. I used 3M releasable tape to mount them and cut it to fit the bracket. If you're cutting it, be sure to start from the bottom as having no stickiness on the object side is vital for keeping it mounted. This is my first post, so I'm wondering if I should add other files beyond the STL - let me know if you'd like any other files or formats!
