EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXT: I want a shelf that looks like this that I can 3d print emphasis on the 3 rounded outside edges no bigger than 8 inches tall

1. I can design you an STL file (or STEP if you want editable) that has:
2. Three nested rounded arches (like in your photo).
3. A back panel for mounting.
4. A flat shelf base with two small supports underneath.
5. It will be scaled to ≤ 8 in tall × proportionally wide (likely ~5–6 in wide so it looks balanced).
6. I’ll also hollow it slightly to save print time and material, but keep the edges thick enough for strength.
7. Do you want the three arches to be separate “layers” (like laminations you could glue together) or a single printed piece?
8. Should I include mounting holes in the back for screws/nails, or leave it flat for command strips?
