Braille "Cat" Blocks

thingiverse

A little Cat That is in 3 pieces that fit together, each piece has one braille letter on it to spell "CAT" when assembled. Thanks to the "Fittle Fish" Designer for giving me the idea to make this Cat. I Created this to participate in the Remix Challange! #RemixChallenge Print Settings Printer: CTC DualHead Printer Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.20mm Infill: 15% Notes: I have not personally printed this, but it should work fine with these settings. Use your own judgement! Post-Printing The Pegs and Holes probably need cleaned up if supports were used, I normally use an X-Acto knife for doing this. How I Designed This My 5 Hour Project I used 3D Builder (On Windows 10) to Emboss a basic cat shape onto a rectangle then saved it as an STL and loaded it in 123D Design. I then slowly made cubes of different sizes and shapes to cut off the excess using the embossed cat as a template, then I created little spheres and looked up a Braille Key and used it to create "CAT" in braille and I merged it onto the cat. After that I cut the cat into three pieces and added a triangle nob/hole on one side and a circle nob/hole on the other. This is probably a very ineffective way to do this sense it took me about 5 hours, but It got the job done! This is the cat before I cut off the excess.
