Braille Writer Finger Guide

The Colorado Instructional Materials Center (CIMC), part of CSDB's Outreach programs, has been 3D printing the “Braille Writer Finger Guide”, created by Jim Allan, Accessibility Coordinator at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, in Austin. The guide helps keep students’ fingers on the correct keys of a braille writer. The Braille Writer Finger Guide file is available on the YouMagine website, an online community of 3D printing enthusiasts that shares open-source files. They have an entire category of educational content.
