Accessible 3D

27/10/2026

It has been very quiet here, but it is due to the fact that I am getting a lot of print and design work, and so I haven't had too much time sharing updates :)
However, I have some quite big news to share with you today :)
My new website is ready! :)
This includes a webshop, all my files, some of them for free, as well as a bunch of other nice stuff! :)
From now on, this is where you will be able to find all my stuff! :)
If you visit the website, and sign up for the newsletter, you can get 10 % off your first order! :)
Find the link to the website in the comments :)

And hey, if you don't find anything you like, please share the post! :)
These images are from a christmas braille advent calendar I made last year :)

Hi all! :)
I just briefly wanted to share, that cults3d wrote an article about me :)
Check it out here!

My name is Edis Adilovic. I live in Denmark, I have been blind since I was two and a half, and I design and 3D print tactile objects, both as my job and in my spare time.

I don't do a lot of baking, nor cooking for that matter, but I do a lot of designing! :)
A customer approached me with this idea to turn this into some cooky cutters :)
She already had the stl, but she wanted to make it parametric :)
Some time later in Openscad, and this is the final result! :D

It has been a little while since I last posted, but there is a good reason for that. This design took me a very long time. 😅🏰

This is my latest project, a highly detailed seven colour 3D model of Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen, designed entirely in OpenSCAD.

And yes, I designed it as a fully blind person.

The workflow behind it is probably the part I find most interesting.

I started by finding five real photographs of Rosenborg Castle from different angles. I then used AI to describe those images to me in detail, including the proportions, towers, roofs, windows, decorations and colours.

From there, I used AI as a sparring partner. It helped me structure the project, break the castle down into manageable parts and think through how I could recreate the building geometrically in OpenSCAD.

Then I wrote the code myself.

As the model developed, I rendered it, took screenshots and had AI compare my renders with the original photographs. It could tell me if a tower was too tall, a roof was the wrong shape, something was missing, or a proportion needed changing. Then I went back into the code and adjusted it.

So the process was basically:

📸 Real photos
🤖 AI descriptions and design sparring
💻 My OpenSCAD code
🏰 Render
🔍 AI comparison
🔁 Back to the code

That is essentially how I am able to work visually without being able to see.

The finished model was printed on my Bambu Lab H2C using 0.4 mm nozzles and seven colours. AI also helped me navigate the inaccessible parts of the slicer and assign the colours, which were chosen based on research into the real castle.

I also tried to design as much of it as possible without supports. Removing supports when you are completely blind can become a bit of an extreme sport, so avoiding them has almost become a sport of its own. 😂

The QR code on the base leads to a small audio drama about Rosenborg, complete with AI voices, music and sound effects. AI also handled the final editing of the audio.

For me, this project is a perfect example of what can happen when accessibility, AI, code, 3D printing and a slightly unreasonable amount of patience all come together.

Hello all :)
I am sharing this because it really warms my heart to finally see a serious competition on accessibility:)
I will be joining :)

Yesterday, I had my first assistive technology expo with my own 3D based business 🙂 
And the interest is very high 🙂 
I keep saying that 3-D printing and designing can be used for much more than just flex toys, dragons, and fidgets 🙂 
Therefore, I’m always consistently shouting about accessibility, and that the big companies should really take slicer and printer accessibility as a high priority. 🙂

Hi everyone! :)
Here is the first draft of a tactile terrain map, designed by someone fully blind.
The interesting part is how it is made.
I pull open Danish geodata straight from a public API: the national elevation model at 0.4 meter resolution, buildings from GeoDanmark, and roads from OpenStreetMap.
A Python pipeline translates that data into OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD is a 3D design tool where the model is not drawn with a mouse but written as code. Plain text my screen reader can read aloud, and that I can write and edit myself. That is how I design in 3D as a blind person.
In the code, the data becomes something fingers can read: terrain with touchable elevation, roads as raised lines, buildings as simple blocks, and braille labels built right into the model. A separate braille key card explains the symbols.
The result: a 30 x 30 cm tile at 1:2500 scale of Tarup in Odense, Denmark, ready for 3D printing.
No manual drawing. If I want a new area, I change one set of coordinates and run the pipeline again. Any place can become a map you can touch.
This is a first draft. Heights, spacing and readability still need to be tested with the fingers. But the approach works.

Welcome to all the new followers 🙂
This design is my first on Printables 🙂
It is also a part of the geared spinners challenge, so I hope you like it so much that you will download it 🙂
Welcome :)

Hi all! :)
It has been a little quiet from me :D
I had to get rid of my Prusa Xl, which for me was a terrible machine :P
Instead, I got this beauty!

Something exciting is brewing 🙂
Soon, you will be able to order exclusive, high quality premium accessible3d filament 🙂
Besides being great to print with, I think that this will be the first filament where blind and visually impaired people can read themselves, what they are actually putting into their printer 🙂  filament where blind and visually impaired people can read themselves, what they are actually putting into their printer 🙂 
I will be starting out with PLA and PETG, but with the potential of expanding to more materials, colors, and flavors when I have had a time to see if there is a demand for specialty filament like this 🙂
