I just published a new article called 3D Printing for Blind and Low Vision Users, What You Need to Know.

I have been working with 3D printing for years through the Tactile Photos project, and one thing has become very clear to me: the printer itself is only part of the story. The real challenge is everything around it, slicers, CAD tools, troubleshooting, maintenance, and a workflow that is still built far more for sighted users than for blind ones. In the article, I break down the learning curve, the safety concerns, the accessibility barriers, and why this technology can still be incredibly powerful even while it remains frustratingly visual.

If you have ever wondered whether a blind person should buy a 3D printer, or if you are a supporter hoping to create tactile things for blind and low vision people, this one is for you. Check out the link below.
