Welcome to Accessible 3D! I’m Edis, a 33-year-old fully blind creator using 3D printing to break barriers and inspire inclusion.

Let’s redefine what’s possible together!

📩 A few days ago, I received a message through my page.

That might not sound like much, but for me it was a huge moment.

Normally, I share my designs, my workflow, and the exciting journey of creating 3D models as a fully blind designer. 👨‍🦯🖥️🖨️

What made this message special wasn't just that it was a custom order.

It was that the customer was sighted. 👀

One of the biggest challenges I face is convincing people that blindness doesn't prevent someone from being a capable designer. Most people understandably struggle to imagine how someone who can't see a screen can create detailed 3D models.

But this customer trusted me with the project. 🤝

The request was a commemorative plaque for someone graduating as a paramedic. 🚑🎓

We discussed ideas, colours, and details back and forth until we arrived at a design everyone was happy with.

And this is where the Prusa XL really got a chance to shine. ✨

The print uses three colours and PETG support interfaces. After a bit of tuning, the supports practically fell off the finished piece. The print quality exceeded my expectations, and the whole process reminded me why I love designing and 3D printing so much. 🖨️💙

I'm proud of the design.
I'm proud of the print.
And I'm proud that someone trusted me to bring their idea to life. 🙏

More than anything, this project gave me a real confidence boost. 💪

I hope you like it!

The design features a black rectangular base with raised gold lettering reading “PARAMEDICINER 2026.” Rising from the base is a circular black frame containing a blue Star of Life symbol with a gold Rod of Asclepius in the center. Extending above the emblem is a stylized gold stethoscope, with black earpieces at the top. The plaque is printed in black, blue, and metallic gold filament, creating a professional and elegant appearance. The photos show the finished piece standing on a light wooden table, highlighting the clean print quality, layered construction, and medical theme.

👨‍🦯💻🖨️ How can a fully blind person do 3D designing and printing independently?

This is how! 🚀

What is your favorite design software? 🤔👇

🍝😄 I love spaghetti! As a blind person 👨‍🦯, I rely heavily on AI-assisted workflows 🤖, which, unfortunately, I haven't implemented in my brand new Prusa XL 🖨️ just yet. So unfortunately, this is what I sometimes get! 😂🍝

3D printing is almost the same as cooking 🧑‍🍳, especially when you can't see what you are doing! 🙈
You really have to get up close and personal with your 3D printer... 👋🔥
Do you ever do this when 3d printing? 🤔👇

Okay guys, I know AI is controversial. 😅

But think about this.

When I first started designing, I knew absolutely nothing about OpenSCAD. As a fully blind person, traditional CAD software was largely inaccessible to me, and creating complex 3D models felt completely out of reach.

Then AI came along and suddenly a whole new world opened up. 🚀

For me, it isn't a case of typing one prompt and hitting print.

It's prompts.
It's screenshots.
It's AI-assisted image descriptions.
It's debugging.
It's rewriting code.
It's testing.
It's failing.
It's iterating.
Over and over again.

Sometimes dozens of iterations before a single print even starts. 😄

These dragons are some of my very first AI-assisted designs. Looking back at them now is both hilarious and inspiring.

And yes... if you notice the dragon with only one wing, that's the disabled dragon! 🐉♿😂

It might not be perfect, but it represents something important: accessibility, creativity, and the fact that technology can open doors that were previously closed.

What do you think about AI as a creative tool?

👶☕️ I love the fact that I can customize my baby stroller as much as I want! 😄

Of course, I need a cup holder. 😉

The beauty of parametric design is that you virtually only need to change a number, tweak a bit of code, and the modification is instant. Once you've designed something, it's usually not difficult to adapt it to a completely different use case. 🚀

And the best part? It works perfectly with a screen reader too! ♿️💻

The first set of images shows a cup holder I designed for my sister quite a while ago. The second set is a redesign—simpler and cleaner, because my girlfriend wanted something a little less complex. 😄

What do you think about the designs? Which version do you prefer? 👇
And also, how do you like the audio description in the video? :)
Fun fact, it is my own voice, trained using chatterbox, and then implemented in the video with another small program I made :D

Guys, I am becoming a father for the first time, anytime here in June :)
The official date is 12 june, but she likes being in there! :)
I can't wait! :)
And this is also a great opportunity to showcase a bit of how 3D designing can really be a game changer :)
Pushing a baby stroller while having a cane as well is highly impractical, I simply don't have enough hands :)
So I designed this blind awareness sign :)
I really hope you like this, and if you do, please share! :)
Alt text for the video: it features me, Edis, showing my baby stroller where there is a sign atached to the front. The sign is printed in 2 different colours for maximum contrast, and the sign features the official ISO blindness sign, along with the Danish text: "Vis hensyn. Jeg er blind".

As a fully blind designer, OpenSCAD is my main design program. But sometimes I need to reach for other methods to get an idea across the finish line.

This time I used Claude Code to help me build a tactile map puzzle of Denmark. All 98 municipalities, for blind and visually impaired hands. 🇩🇰

On my own I managed to find an SVG map of Denmark. But an SVG is really just a picture. It has no idea which shape is which municipality, so I couldn't turn it into named, labelled pieces. Claude Code helped me track down proper geographic data, GeoJSON files with the real surveyed borders and the name of every kommune, and then build the generator that turns that data into the puzzle.

Here's the idea. Real, surveyed map data gets turned into a thick board with municipality-shaped recesses. Each removable piece is the true shape of a real kommune, kept at its true relative size, so a big municipality really does feel bigger than a small one. Every piece has a little grip k**b so it's easy to pick up, and a Danish braille label so you can read its name by touch. Drop each piece into its matching hole and you learn Denmark's geography entirely by feel. Shape, size, position, and name.

The whole thing is fully parametric: change one number and the entire 99-piece set rebuilds itself. The test piece just came off the printer and fits perfectly, so now it's time to build the full map. 🧩

The first section displays Python code responsible for translating geographic latitude and longitude coordinates into scaled millimeter dimensions, applying precise mathematical offsets to create matching puzzle pieces and board recesses. The second section displays OpenSCAD code that establishes the structural dimensions, character dot patterns (including specific Danish letters), and geometric intersection math required to render smooth, touch-friendly Braille text.

I am in the process of designing a tactile puzzle :)
This is the Danish map with the 98 different municipalities, and this will function as a puzzle :)
A puzzle and learning tool, as blind and visually impaired children and adults will be able to feel the size difference of the different municipalities, as well as the different shapes :)
Alt text: A collection of five 3D digital renderings showcasing a stylized board game map modeled after the geography of Denmark. The map features an extruded beige coastline outline set against a deep blue ocean background, filled with colorful, interlocking polygonal territories in shades of green, blue, pink, orange, and yellow. Each territory contains a small, rounded cylindrical token (pawn) and clusters of tiny white sphere structures.

The collection includes:
- ig_exploded.png: An isometric view where the colorful territory pieces are vertically floating and separated ("exploded") above the beige coastline frame.
- ig_hero.png: A standard isometric angled view showing the full map assembled with all territories neatly fitted within the coastlines.
- ig_topdown.png: A high-angle, top-down perspective looking straight down across the map regions.
- ig_inset.png: A close-up, cropped view focusing on a specific cluster of central territories and their distinct borders.
- ig_macro.png: An extreme close-up macro shot showcasing the 3D depth, shadows, and textures of a few individual territory blocks and game pieces.

Can you guess what I am working on? :)
This is one of these tasks that really make my work with 3D meaningful, and I can't wait to show you the printed model and tell you the story behind it! :)
But until then, let me hear your thoughts?
What do you think it is? :)
