Its been a while since I’ve made anything… I’ve been a little busy. But I met Obama!

Read about my invention here…

-Attachable wheelchair hand drives -Cost $40-100 for parts only -Plans, instructions, 3D printing files, etc are FREE

-This is a thing you can have made right now -Not ‘hopefully by 2060’ -Not 'for $6,000 and 2 pints of your own blood’ -Now -I’m looking at 3D printing services and ordering hardware online as I type

-This is what I’ve been hoping 3D printing could do since I first heard about it -I haven’t been this excited since I read about the possibility of 3D-printed kidneys

-This was made by students -None of the money required for this goes to them -This was their project -This is just for designing with accessibility in mind -They rocked it -And they want to share it and have it tested and keep improving -I don’t know what they’re doing now or doing next, but they are so creative and intelligent and hard-working -They’ll keep rocking whatever it is -Shine on you beautiful diamonds
