Braille labels you can print at home: sizes that work

 Q: How do I make a braille label on a 3D printer?

A: Print raised dots on a flat plate. Use dots about 1.5 mm wide and 0.5 mm high, with about 2.5 mm between dots in a cell and about 6 mm between cells.

What you need: a 3D printer and a file with braille text. Shapiful makes the file in your browser.

Steps:

1. Type the label text and choose braille.

2. Pick a flat plate or tag, with a hole if you want to hang it.

3. Download the STL, slice it and print it face up.

4. Ask a braille reader to check the first label.

Tips:

- Use a layer height from 0.12 to 0.2 mm.

- Do not print braille on a curved face.

- Add the printed word next to the dots, so everyone can read the label.

- Print one short test piece before the full set.

Good places for braille labels: spice jars, pantry boxes, drawers, toy boxes, light switches and board game cards.

Toy box labels you can 3D print: a simple guide

 Q: How do I keep a building-toy set tidy? A: Label each box and each part bin. Printed tags last longer than paper. What you need: a 3D printer and a file with text. Shapiful makes the file in your browser. Step 1: Type the label, for example "Wheels", "Gears" or "Red bricks". Step 2: Choose a tag with a hole for a string, or a flat strip to glue on. Step 3: Download the STL and print it. Step 4: Add raised braille on a second line if a child who reads braille uses the box. Why it helps: children find parts faster and put them back in the right place. Tidying up becomes a game.
