Hey John, I don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, but I can provide a couple of things. First, for generating 3-D print instructions, I would suggest looking at a program called openscad. I suspect it will do a lot of what you were trying to do in postscript, but with an environment much more suited to the purpose. For woodworking, I can recommend woodworking for the blind, which is a website and forum for blind people talking all about woodworking. http://www.ww4b.org/ Finally, there is a Facebook group dedicated to 3-D printing for blind folks. https://www.facebook.com/groups/blv3p/?ref=share I hope this can help get you started. Take care, Jim Written while on the move,,

Anybody know of a group for blind makers? Any interest in starting such a group if no such group currently exists?
I am currently working on a project to create an accessible D&D module. The learning experience has been absolutely fascinating. I am creating a dungeon map by coding it by hand in postscript. I plan on converting the postscript to a format for a 3D printer. Once i learn how to do all this efficiently, I figure I can start making 3D maps for conventions and the like. I am going to help organize a convention for guide dog users in San Francisco in 2022. I am hoping to supply a 3D map of the hotel floor plan.
I'd also like to get into home automation, robotics, etc. I'm already into woodworking. I think it would be cool to have a group for people who are into stuff like that. -- John G.
