The 3D printed model of Wheelie© is a valuable learning tool that enables a child with vision impairment to get tactually familiar with Wheelie©, one of the main characters in the Ballyland game apps. You can even drive Wheelie around, making his wheels turn!

3D Printing
The quality of your printed model depends on the quality of the used 3D printer, the printing process and the choice of materials.
Printing costs are NOT included with the file, and may vary. If you don’t own a 3D printer yourself, you may find one at a school or support organization for the blind or visually impaired, a library, or a nearby 3D print shop such as at Hubs.
ABS is recommended as it allows for easy painting, but other materials can be used as well.
Depending on your printer, the model may be white or any other color. This depends on the color of the filament the printer uses.
The leftover support structure needs to be carefully scraped or sanded away (This will be done for you at a professional 3D print service).
If you want you can hand paint some of Wheelie's features. Use child safe paint. You can also choose to leave the model unpainted! Its tactile features will still be as recognizable and valuable as ever.
