Pocket Braille Finder

thingiverse

This is a fantastic portable Braille finder that boasts an ingenious internal mechanism and a tactile feel. By turning the wheel, the Braille pins will either drop down or lift up, accurately representing the correct Alpha-Braille translation. It's truly pocket-sized, measuring in at only 70mm x 63mm x 8mm. Designed to be carried around for quick reference, it could also be used by schools to teach the alphabet. I'm currently printing this on my Formlabs Form 2, and it has specifically been designed for SLA printing due to its small size and tight tolerances. The Braille on this device follows the standard hole spacing used worldwide. If you plan to attempt FDM printing, you may want to scale it up for better results - however, your hole spacing won't be correct.
