A mechanical reading assistant that holds your pages flat, tracks your reading status, and protects your book from wrinkles with a clever lift-hinge mechanism!

Tired of losing track of your reading progress or dealing with pages flipping on their own? Meet your new mechanical reading assistant! This model combines a sturdy, functional page holder with a clever, modular reading tracking system.

Key Feature: The Smart Lift-Hinge Mechanism
The standout feature of this design is the hinged top container. Need to change your reading status? Simply lift the top container via the hinge! This allows you to swap or adjust the indicator blocks without lifting the bottom page holder. Your book pages stay perfectly flat, crisp, and completely wrinkle-free while you update your status.

Interchangeable Modular System
The design includes 3 different modular indicator blocks. You can slide one block into the hinged container at a time, depending on what you need to track. Each block contains 4 specific statuses:

1. Reading Status (For overall progress):

TBR (To Be Read): Books in your queue.
On-Going: Currently reading.
Paused: Reading temporarily on hold.
Done: Finished reading.

2. Purpose / Urgency (For mindset & priority):

Academic / Research: For studies and literature reviews.
Reference / Manual: For technical guides and documentation.
Leisure: For light reading and fiction.
Urgent: For library books or strict deadlines.

3. Page Specific Markers (For highlighting content):

Important: Crucial data or theories.
Review / Confusing: Complex parts that need re-reading.
Idea / Actionable: Sparks an idea to execute later.
Favorite: Great quotes or personal highlights.

3D Printing Guidelines:

Multi-Color Friendly: The text is debossed (1mm), making it perfect for multi-color printing systems (AMS/MMU).
Recommended Print Orientation: Print the indicator blocks face-down on the build plate. This ensures a perfectly smooth surface for the text and drastically saves filament during color changes!
Mechanism: Designed with proper mechanical tolerances for the hinge to actuate smoothly right off the build plate.

Happy printing and happy reading!
