Braille Scrabble Tile Generator

thingiverse

This is a Braille Scrabble tile generator, which can create replacements for lost tiles. The customiser supports two character sets: * Latin * Arabic When printing the tiles, they should be printed upright to ensure the best resolution on the braille bumps. The rear of the tile can be customised so that two sets can be differentiated from each other if necessary. The tiles will need some post-processing if they are also to be used by someone who is sighted. I find a good solution is as follows: Print with 0.15 embossed depth for the text. Spray a clear varnish coat. With an indelible marker pen (0.6mm tip), fill in the letter. Fill in the score with a 0.6mm tip or a 0.4mm tip for the 2,3,4,5,8,0 scores. Vapour smoothing is not recommended, as this 'blurs' the braille dots. Printing slowly with a small nozzle and layer height will ensure that the tiles have the best possible quality.
