3D Modeled Braille

.stl file link

For my 3D modeling assignment, I chose to model my braille print press for 3D printing. This is my first time using Fusion360 and I went with the desktop version. I downloaded a png file of off brailletranslator.org and used it as an image "canvas" reference, I extruded diameter circles along with a cube surface or "base" for the braille to sit on.

My goal for next week is to figure out how to make the .stl model printable.

After that, I will be designing a card and using this print to make small indents in the cards surface.

I followed this video which demonstrated how to assemble a braille model from scratch for 3D printing in Fusion360. The only thing is that I did not fillet my surfaces and extruded the braille more than what was demonstrated so that it could indent card stock.
