The interactive 3D preview is optional. I include the written description and details on this page, so you do not need the preview to understand the model. It only loads when you activate it.
The 3D preview is optional. Activate the button to load it. Once it appears, use the left and right arrow keys to rotate, the up and down arrow keys to tilt, and the plus and minus keys to zoom. A Top-down view button looks straight down at the model, laying flat pieces like boards, cards and maps out as if on a table. A Reset view button returns the camera to its starting position. A full text description and download are provided below and do not require this preview.
About this model
The full Danish alphabet, a to z plus æ, ø and å and a blank tile, as compact interlocking tiles. Each tile says its letter twice: signage-grade ISO 17049 braille on top, a raised capital below, so braille readers and print readers always agree. Build names and words that hold their reading order. The download includes the full plate STL, the parametric OpenSCAD source and the braille library.
Prefer it printed and shipped? I print and finish this design to order in the shop: Braille Learning Tiles.
What it looks like
A plate of thirty small rectangular tiles in a grid: the Danish alphabet plus a blank. Each tile carries one domed braille cell above one raised capital letter, with interlocking connector tabs on the edges.
