Customizable LEGO compatible Braille Bricks.

This is a customizer for creating a sequence of LEGO compatible Braille bricks according to the Unified English Braille standard.

You can enter any of the following letters, numbers, punctuation, and math symbols:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
1234567890
,;:.!?'#
+-×÷=

Note that the multiplication and division symbols aren't on a keyboard so they can be copied from above if you want to create them.

You can also enter the carat (^) character to start a new row of bricks and a space character to print a brick with no dot pattern.

The Latin character or symbol is printed below the dot pattern. If the dot pattern is also used with a prefix, like the numbers, both characters will be printed by default.

This is a remix of my LEGO Compatible Text Bricks where I hacked out the code and parameters for adding the text on the sides and added in code to vary the dot pattern.

Running the Customizer

Click the Open in Customizer button to create your own model on Thingiverse.

Note that Thingiverse hadn't run their customizer queue from Jul 10, 2020 to Aug 4, 2022 and may stop running it at any time again. So if they don't process your customized job, you will have to install and run OpenSCAD (free software) on your own computer to process the code to create your own customized models. See DrLex's instructions linked below for further details.

How to Run Customizer on Your Own Computer

You will have to place download the Roboto-Black.ttf font file into the same folder as the OpenSCAD code file.
