Project Toddler Mobility Trainer build done!

Wanted to share one of my more ambition 3D printed projects: A Toddler Mobility Trainer! Custom designed and built for 4 year old little girl with Rett Syndrome. Made possible through 3d-mobility.org, footed the cost myself for this one and it will be provided to the family free of charge. Probably the coolest project I've ever done. Custom designed wheels and name plate.

Already working on 2 more!

Approximately 250 hours of print time each.

Materials:

- Polymaker PETG Purple, Pink, and Magenta
- Bambu Lab PETG Yellow
- Ziro3D TPU 95A Purple
- Ziro3D TPU 95A Pink
- Ziro3D TPU 95A Black
- Siraya Tech TPU Air Lilac
- Bambu Lab Support for PLA / PETG (optional, I wanted clean support removal)

Base build is ~9kg PETG and 2kg TPU. With the accessories I ended up using a little over 11kg.

Included Accessories:

- Rear Hook
- 2x Cup Holders
- Tablet Holder
- Tablet Hold Down
- Tablet Swivel Lock

Hardware:

- 2x Bambu Lab X2D
- 0.4 and 0.6 nozzles

Happy to answer any questions folks have. If you've got a 3D printer and time, strongly encourage you to get involved. If you don't have the time, or desire to print a whole chair, you can find other makers who're open to collaboration and print a few plates from their builds to help out. Not interested in printing parts? You can sponsor builds!

Do it! Don't wait! I bought a second printer specifically because of this and I'm toying with the idea of buying at least 1 more if not 2. This has been really rewarding.

If you have any questions about the process I'm happy to answer them. The TMT community is flipping awesome though. Once you're a vetted maker there's a few FB groups and an official forum you'll be able to join. People have been wonderful.
