The file 'Page Keeper 3D Printer Model' is (eps,stl) file type, size is 5.5KB.
A device for holding open the pages in big books with your thumb while you read them.
A coworker saw something similar in one of those 'crazy product designs from Japan' articles. She asked if I could print her one based solely on the low res photo she showed me.
It's a fairly simple design so I quickly drew the 2D outline in Illustrator then proceeded to use a very convoluted process to ultimately get it into OpenSCAD using a number of techniques I'm still learning.
I'm sure there is a much easier method to build the model so please feel free to share any tips.
UPDATE: Of course after I post this, I discover that it's not the first...not having any terminology to go by, I was looking for the wrong thing. Looks like this was here first: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1120 and this is newer and closer to my design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1747
