Today I hosted a vendor table at the Illinois Council for the Blind downtown Springfield, IL. I thoroughly enjoyed my time meeting and talking with the attendees of the convention and even ran in to some of my previous customers. Illinois Council of the Blind

Photo description by Gemini:
An overhead photograph captures a display table with a collection of three-dimensional printed objects intended for the visually impaired. At the center is a white sheet of paper that reads, "Joe's 3D Printing." Below it, on the table's surface, are other tactile items, including game pieces, dice, and puzzles. There's an "ICB" puzzle and three chairs that fill the upper portion of the photograph. The table rests on a patterned carpet floor. A partial glimpse of a person's sneakers is visible on the bottom right.

A couple TEACH braille keychains ordered by a customer are being mailed for free via USPS Free Matter for the Blind tomorrow.

These are currently 25% off as I'd love to get some reviews on Etsy.

Photo description by Gemini:
These 3D-printed keychains feature a stacked block design with a tactile, educational theme. Each block displays a raised capital letter on one side and its corresponding Braille cell on the adjacent side.

Visual Details
Colors: The set includes two keychains: one in a vibrant magenta pink and the other in a deep royal blue.

Text: Both keychains spell out the word "TEACH" vertically, with crisp white lettering that contrasts sharply against the colored base.

Tactile Features: On the side of each block, the Braille dots are raised in white, providing a secondary way to read the word through touch.

Hardware: Each keychain is assembled on a silver-toned metal rod, topped with a sturdy swivel lobster clasp and a flat split ring. The bottom is finished with a polished chrome spike finial, giving the pieces a modern, weighted look.

Composition
The keychains are photographed against a clean, neutral white background, highlighting the matte texture of the 3D-printed filament and the reflective sheen of the metal hardware. The arrangement is slightly staggered to show both the alphabetical and Braille sides clearly.

Recently completed a large order of Custom Braille Keychains! We worked with the customer to create exactly what they wanted and ordered some special filament to complete this project.

Reach out if you've got an idea and would like a quote!

Photo description by Gemini:
This image shows a collection of handcrafted braille keychains arranged in organized rows on a light brown wooden surface. The keychains feature a tactile design intended for both visual and sensory appeal.

Product Details
Design: Each keychain consists of five stacked rectangular beads. The beads feature high-contrast embossed letters and symbols on one side, with the corresponding Grade 1 Braille cells on the adjacent sides.

Color Schemes: * Navy & Pink: Dark blue beads with soft pink lettering and braille.

Coral & Navy: Vibrant coral-pink beads with dark navy lettering and braille.

Hardware: Each piece is assembled with silver-toned metal hardware, including a sturdy link chain, a standard flat key ring, and a lobster claw swivel clasp for easy attachment. The bottom of each bead stack is finished with a decorative silver conical spike.

Composition and Arrangement
The keychains are grouped into six distinct clusters across two main rows.

Top Row: Three groups of the navy and pink colorway.

Bottom Row: Three groups of the coral and navy colorway.

Text: The beads primarily spell out "D G A G," separated by a stylized anchor symbol, suggesting a custom or branded acronym.

Check out the review that Keith left on my Etsy page for my Ryan Forest fence brackets!

"A fantastic item! Actually, better than the original! I searched for years to find these and stumbled upon these on Etsy. Definitely buying again. A++++++++"

Photo description provided by Gemini:
This image is a side-by-side product comparison for a Ryan Forest Fence Bracket, designed as a reinforced replacement part.

The graphic is set against a light wood-grain background and features two framed photographs:

The Problem (Left): Titled "Old / Broken Original," this photo shows a weathered, dirty, and cracked white plastic bracket still attached to a fence post. The text below describes it as a "common brittle failure" that is unreliable and prone to "widespread sag and cracking."

The Solution (Right): Titled "New 3D-Printed Replacement," this photo showcases a crisp, clean, white 3D-printed bracket. It features a significantly thicker, reinforced geometric design. The caption emphasizes "extreme durability," "weather-resistant plastic," and that the parts are "made to order."

The overall layout is clean and instructional, clearly highlighting the structural improvements of the 3D-printed version over the original manufacturer's part.

Need a tactile map? I can 3d print them for you! These are created using the Touch Mapper website. You are welcome to preview the map yourself and send me the URL from your browser when you're ready to order. These sell for $30 each. They are about 8 inches square

Photo description provided by Gemini:
This photo features a 3D-printed topographical map of a neighborhood, captured from an overhead, slightly angled perspective.
Visual Details
The Subject: A square, light-gray (or off-white) plastic model. It depicts a dense urban or suburban layout, complete with raised rectangular blocks representing buildings and recessed lines for streets and alleys.
Texture: The 3D printing process is visible through the fine, horizontal layer lines (striations) across the flat surfaces of the map.
Setting: The map is resting on a dark, speckled countertop (likely granite or laminate), which provides a sharp contrast to the light color of the plastic.
Lighting: Soft, overhead lighting creates subtle shadows next to the raised "buildings," giving the map a sense of depth and scale.

Photo Description:
This image features a collection of vertical, 3D-printed keychains that combine visual text with tactile Braille. Each keychain is composed of five individual cubes stacked on a metal rod, finished with a silver spike at the bottom.

Variation Details:
Pink & White: Features the word "LOVE" in white capital letters with matching white Braille dots on a bright magenta background.

Purple & Yellow: Displays the text "WIU 26" in yellow, likely representing a graduation year or organization, paired with yellow Braille.

Black & Red: Shows a more high-contrast look with the initials "JC & SC" in red text and red Braille dots on a matte black background.

Scale & Design: One shot shows the keychain being held, providing a sense of scale (approximately 3–4 inches long). The 3D-printing layers are visible on the cubes, giving them a distinct textured finish.

I just launched a new Tactile Memory Game that can be played by blind/VI individuals!

The video shows a white board with 6x6 grid. There are 36 yellow/black tiles and 8 of them are already turned over. I "find" a new pair (circles) and give the video a thumbs up. After that I turn over two new tiles (X and 4 dots), but they are not a match.

Want additional details? Interested in buying? Check out my Etsy listing along with many other products tailored for blind/VI individuals.
