Braille Printer

Low-Cost Gantry Demo

The gantry was built with 2020 aluminum extrusions and stepper motors. The x-axis was rigged with timing belt, but we ran out for the y-axis, so we used dental floss!

Overview

Within 36 hours, I built a prototype braille printer at the PennApps XXV Hackathon with my team: Brandon Jeon, Jacob Zhang, and Oliver Leung.
