I work as a volunteer for blind people and own a 3D printer. This opens a world to me and to the blind. To me, because I vastly underestimated the possibilities of a 3D printer. To the blind people I volunteer for, because they have a map of our city for the first time in their life.

There is so little available for blind people, yes they have books and podcasts and an iPhone, which is endlessly better than 20 years ago. But they have no idea of the shape of a Falcon rocket, or a cow, or the parks around our city.

More than half of my free time goes to creating 3D printed stuff for them.




Amazing. Keep up the good work. :). Is it as part of an organization?
