Braille Marker Labels

Description

These are labels for markers, specifically designed around Crayola markers, with English text on on them as well as braille for reading by those with visual impairments, such as degenerative blindness, colorblindness, etc. where they may be able to color but not easily able to read small text such as labels on markers.

I was inspired by this video posted by influencer Anthony S. Ferraro. His friend Ian made him some crayon-caps with braille on them so that he can color. I previously made my own version of those.

Please help me in troubleshooting these. I have no one in my immediate friend/acquaintance circle who is both vision impaired too much to easily read labels, but also not so visually impaired to be able to color, draw, or sketch. 

Feedback is welcome! 

Do you want to make your own for other colors?
It's not reasonable for me to make every color - but you can make your own? I've included .step and .f3d files in their own folder. You will need to download this braille font from dafont.com (submitted by Anonymous).

You should be able to edit the two text-sketches (one English-lettering, one Braille) and change the name to whatever color you need, then export your own color. If you need to a longer-color name, edit the extrusion as well, and just about everything should follow nicely along with the length to keep the text centered.

Single color printer? Still want to have two colors, one for the body and one for text? No problem! 
If you are using a 0.2mm layer height, add a pause three layers from the top and do a color-swap!

As far as the Legal aspect goes:
My one real criteria with this is that you shouldn't be trying to make profit off of it. Feel free to remix it, modify it, study it, whatever - but in my opinion this is the sort of thing that we should be making freely for others.
