Want to start adding 3D printed braille to your projects but not sure what sizes work best for your printer? I developed this little test print to help you find the best regulation friendly size braille for YOUR printer. 

These three sizes are within the official guidelines for braille on signage in most English speaking countries, including the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The exact sizes are next to each row. Please do check with the guidelines in your own country if putting your braille in a public setting! 

The provided 3MF and GCode include variable layer height to make the base of the test 0.2mm layers and the braille 0.1mm layers, but feel free to tweak and try different things to see what works best with your printer if this doesn't work well for you. I have also included a filament swap/M600 to make the braille stand out!
