A OpenJSCAD based braille generator for 3D printing braille labels or print braille dots on a surface

Braille Generator

A configurable OpenJSCAD script for creating Braille text from strings. Can be used for printing dots only on surfaces or creating braille labels (with a backplate).

Usage

You can render this script in following ways:

• Use the OpenJsCad parser, provided by https://joostn.github.io/OpenJsCad/processfile.html
• Use the adapted frontend (in German) for easier use: https://benjaminaigner.github.io/braillegenerator/index.html

Parameters

• enable backplate: If set, a 2mm sheet will be created, on which the braille dots are located
• enable support: If set, 2 additional small cubes are created, to stabilize the backplate while printing
• text: Enter a text. New lines can be created by entering \n. A backslash must be escaped: \\
