New Guide! Braille Keycaps for MacroPads #3DPrinting

Learn Guide: Braille Keycaps for MacroPads

Braille is a writing system that features raised bumps called cells. To make these keycaps, we referenced a peel-and-stick overlay that features functions keys and special characters.

The keycaps are compatible with Cherry MX and Kailh Box switches.

You can print the keycaps in one piece or just the top cover for existing keycaps.

The keycaps are installed by press fitting them over the stem of the mechanical key switch.

The resolution and print quality is good enough for making this style of keycaps.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
