Braille Crayon Tips

~ Inspired from the popular youtuber “Anthony S. Ferraro”, from his video online about braille crayon tips. I did not initially find any model like these with the letters embossed or using standard translation so got to work :)

Design Concept

- Designed using Braille Translator.org : https://www.brailletranslator.org/ , using US #1 uncontracted translation for the lettering of the colors :)

Please provide feedback for the spacing and sizing as I tried to go by standard dimensioning and have the spacing as readable as possible while still being able to fit the crayons to hold. I hope this can be of use to anyone

Can be printed with and without the text shape, simply delete in the slicer

If you wish to change the translation to any language, font, and style, use the website above to input the words of your choice and edit the text part of the corresponding color within the slicer :)

Used slightly larger than 8mm diameter for standard Crayola crayons but can scale up/down for other kinds :)

Purpose

- To try and provide access to a tool that can help those that have lost or are losing sight, currently working on a larger range of colors as this model has done well across other sites as well. The more people download and remix, the more people can have access to functional prints that make the creator space a better place :) Thank you for any support

Printing Suggestions

- Print with a stronger material that will hold up to smaller children if you wish, model has been tested with PLA & PETG so far
