The TobiiDynavox I-16 series AAC device is a very large tablet. It is over 370 mm wide, larger than almost all 3D printers. Even so, you have several options to choose from when creating a 3D-printed keyguard.
We believe that your best option is to purchase the $20 keyguard holder from TobiiDynavox. It’s relatively inexpensive and results in a significantly smaller keyguard, though it will still require you to have a large printer that is at least 350 mm wide. In a pinch, you could split this keyguard and print it on a smaller printer.
You have two other options. The first is to design a full-sized keyguard but split it. The app’s layout will determine how easy it is to split the keyguard. The second is to design a smaller keyguard that fits into a split frame. Finding a good place to split a frame is generally easier than a keyguard.
All of these options are shown in the picture below:
Note that the picture shows keyguards with arbitrary app layouts. You will need to provide the designer with all the information necessary to match the layout of your AAC app. The instructions below don’t provide any information for the app layout.
Keyguard for Official Keyguard Holder
Enter the following information into the Customizer pane:
"---- Keyguard Basics ----" keyguard_thickness = 5 screen_area_thickness = 5 "---- Tablet ----" type_of_tablet = "TobiiDynavox I-16" "---- Tablet Case ----" height_of_opening_in_case = 200 width_of_opening_in_case = 350
Enter these instructions into the openings_and_additions.txt file:
case_openings=[
// ID, x, y, width, height, shape, top slope, bottom slope, left slope, right slope, corner radius, other
[ 1, 88+23/2, coh, 23, 7.2, "crr", 90, 90, 90, 90, 1, 2.5],
[ 2, cow-(88+23/2), coh, 23, 7.2, "crr", 90, 90, 90, 90, 1, 2.5],
[ 3, cow/2-17/2+.8, coh+4, 0, 0, "oa1", 90, 90, 90, 90, 3, ],
[ 4, cow/2+17/2-.8, coh+4, 0, 0, "oa4", 90, 90, 90, 90, 3, ],

[ 3, cow-(12+27/2), 0, 27, 4, "rr3", 2.5, -999, -999, -999, -999, 1.5],
[ 4, cow/2, coh, 60, 4, "rr1", 0, -999, -999, -999, -999, 3.5],
[ 5, cow/2, coh, 60, 4, "-rr1", 3, -999, -999, -999, -999, 3.5],
[ 6, cow/2, coh+5, 0, 18, "-c", 0, -999, -999, -999, -999, 3.5],
];
Note that the keyguard will need support under the two small tabs at the top during printing. Remove the supports when printing completes.
Full-Size Keyguard
You will need to find a convenient place to split the keyguard before printing.
Enter the following information into the Customizer pane:
"---- Tablet ----" type_of_tablet = "TobiiDynavox I-16" "---- Tablet Case ----" have_a_case = "no" height_of_opening_in_case = 239 width_of_opening_in_case = 378 case_opening_corner_radius = 11
Keyguard and Frame
We include information about the location of the split in the frame, but you can place the split in a different location to better match the size of your printer.
Enter the following information into the Customizer pane:
"---- Tablet ----" type_of_tablet = "TobiiDynavox I-16" "---- Tablet Case ----" have_a_case = "no" "---- Keyguard Frame Info ----" have_a_keyguard_frame = "yes" keyguard_frame_thickness = 4 keyguard_height = 198 keyguard_width = 345 "---- Special Actions and Settings ----" split_line_location = 20 split_line_type = "dovetails" dovetail_width = 4.5 slide_dovetails = -0.6
