Make a tactile door sign with Braille to 3D print.
Raised letters, 56 pictograms, Braille, any language.
The Tactile Door Signs generator makes signs anyone can read: raised capitals in any language, a pictogram and a Braille line, on a face framed by a back in a second colour. A sign can be a plate on the wall, big cut-out numbers on a ledge, a pocket that holds a printed sheet, or a flag that points like an arrow. It goes on with tape, keyholes, magnets or screws, and a list of rooms becomes one batch.
Examples
How to make a door sign
Pick the kind
A plate, cut-out letters or numbers, a pocket for a sheet, or a flag.
Type the text
A room name or number in any language; capitals and a plain sans read best by touch.
Add Braille and a pictogram
A Braille line under the text and one of 56 pictograms, above, below or beside.
Choose the mount
Tape, keyholes, magnets or screws.
Make the whole list
One sign per room in a batch.
Accessibility settings
- Letters
- Raised at least 0.8 mm, at least 16 mm tall in capitals, as the ADA asks; wider spacing is easier to tell apart by touch.
- Braille
- Dots 0.6 to 0.8 mm high, at least 9.5 mm under the letters. Check the dots by touch on a test print.
Questions
Which Braille is supported?
English, Russian and Arabic Braille from the text; for other languages, paste Unicode Braille.
How does it go on the door?
With double-sided tape, keyholes, magnets or countersunk screws.
Can I make one for every name on a list?
Yes. Batches take a list of names (pasted or from a spreadsheet) and build one print-ready file per name in the same design.
What file do I get?
A 3MF, which keeps each colour as its own object for a multi-colour printer, or an STL. Every file is checked before it downloads: closed (watertight) geometry, a single shell and walls thick enough to print.
Is it free?
The free plan gives 3 designs a month on each generator. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence.
Licence
On the Free and Maker plans you may print your designs for yourself and as gifts, not for sale. Selling the printed pieces needs the Seller or Studio plan, which include the commercial licence and a licence certificate for each design. Pieces made during the free beta, before paid plans launched, may still be sold on the terms of that time. The exported files themselves can never be resold or redistributed, on any plan.
This is a summary. Read Can I sell rings I 3D print with Morcano? and the Terms, which are the authoritative text.
