The file 'Unitarian Universalist Values In Braille 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 704.1KB.
In celebration of the first successful change to the UUA Article 2 Bylaws in 40 years, and to honor the dedicated work of our visually disabled Beloveds, I (Ahmie "the Mommy" in the Yeung family) translated the 7 Values of Unitarian Universalism - Love, Justice, Equity, Transformation, Pluralism, Interdependence, and Generosity into Braille in TinkerCAD, and made a version of the "Values Flower" with them using question marks as the flower petals (because as UUs we question EVERYTHING - sometimes it seems to be one of our sacraments).
The question mark petals and Braille was all manually placed, intentionally not using the align tool, to give it a more natural flower "feel" as an artistic statement. I haven't had the chance to have someone fluently able to read Braille check it, but I'm pretty sure that the test print I did at 290mm on the largest side on my Creality K1 Max with a .4mm nozzle is actually "legible" (not sure if that's the right term for Braille, hence the quote marks). I'm currently testing a 175 diameter one on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini with the .2 nozzle on and it looks like it's coming out okay but the font might be a little small to read. I'm hoping to take them to the Cleveland Sight Center to have them checked for accuracy. The words on the petals have their first letters orientated toward the center (unless I messed up while rotating them and didn't notice!). The Braille at the center reads "love."
I'm also including each of the words separately for easily mixing into other items. Please share as a remix or comment with a link to where to find them. I'm 100% okay with folks making some income off making these and am not hung up on getting attribution credit (add this to a Thingiverse collection that you share of things you'll make for people is absolutely good enough), but if you appreciate my efforts and want to send some money my way YeungFam on PayPal, CashApp, Venmo, Patreon, and a few others is the way to send some "go have some fun" funds to me to share.
