3d printed braille notemaker

[Haydn Jones]

I have just released the files for a small 3d printable notemaker for sighted people (carers, teachers nurses etc). If anyone with a 3d printer could give them a go and provide some feedback it would be appreciated. Blind people could possibly use one, but it would be difficult with the small parts. It is a plastic grid which blocks of braille are lined up and a piece of paper is placed on top and rubbed to transfer the text.

Awesome! TVIs- any takers or comments?

Interesting idea. I downloaded the files and will try to print them and let you know how it works. What prompted your idea?

Hi Lore,

I just find the technical challenge of tactile communication fascinating and I have been trying to approach it from many different angles. Plus it is a worthwhile use of effort.

As for the note-maker, I left it up to the user how many of each item to print out.

Thanks for taking an interest

Haydn
