While the braille literary code uses six dots for each character, there are cases for eight-dot slates. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a good eight-dot slate.
APH offers this set of files to make an eight-dot slate on a 3-D printer, and we would love your feedback. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3012431 If you are interested, go to the site, download and print the files, and provide suggestions on the process and how to improve the design in the comments section.
