[Athen] 3d printing ?

[Lucy GRECO]

hello: there are tons of ways to create a braille periodic table and threeD
printing is not one of them. Check  which app to see if they still have the
excellent one they had. a small format
a threeD printer is not worth the space it takes up. You need to find
something that can print medium size or larger models.
