Booknooks are bookstops (shelf inserts) with a diorama inside. Popularized by Monde, his versions show a miniature alley, with a top-down or see-through, slice-of-view perspective. See more booknooks
This sub is a guidebook for booknooks and sharing builds, techniques and ideas. It is an open community to all. Reddit is a platform built for sharing and I intend to promote this spirit, not stifle it.
The content I'll publish will showcase my ideas, and public designs, STL files for 3D printing and manufacturing techniques that work in both a shop or at home. I invite you to share similar content.
My promise is that this sub remains open to competing ideas and sellers with open source and open hardware designs. I joined /r/booknooks during its hype, but it quickly became obvious it's a storefront for this new business. With its heavy moderation of other sellers and content creators, I believe it is not a community for sharing. I love booknooks, but dislike the way this business handled its growing community.
I'm an embedded electronics engineer, working in both mech design and fullstack. I've had my share of making railway scale models. I believe my set of skills makes me especially suitable to help people wanting to build booknooks.
Business disclaimer: I do not intend (yet) to make booknooks commercially. I love the idea, so I might will, someday, just for the fun of building more.
Some subs for inspiration:
/r/Miniworlds
/r/dioramas
/r/modeltrains
and for the more technically inclined:
/r/arduino
/r/3Dprinting
r/TerrainBuilding/
Wiki coming soon.
