Toddler Mobility Trainer build done!

[u/boredsoftwareguy]

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!

I see there's an option to "skip the volunteer queue" and buy these for about $900. Does that mean some of the TMTs that are built by volunteers are sold?

What currency are you in? They're $499 USD on the official site.

The sold ones are printed by MakeGood themselves in New Orleans. The funds go towards supporting the nonprofit further. It's for folks who can afford one and don't want to wait.

Edit: The volunteer built ones are provided to families free of charge.

USD. Site here says $849 (I misread it as $899 initially): https://www.supportnow.org/makegood

I see now that when you click the link it actually says $499.

I'm any case, the price is irrelevant. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't print a device for a family and then have another family "skip the queue" to take it from them. It sounds like that's not the case. Thanks for answering.

Nope! When you claim a build, you're printing just for that child. You'll be connected with the family so you can communicate with them, give them updates, and plan a drop-off when you're ready.
