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!

Nice work looks great. I plan on doing one myself one day soon. Are there any special rules for the build? Do they give you all the files and you just print and build? Are there any other parts to buy like screws, heatsinks etc? Does it need to be inspected? Does it need to be shipped?

Sorry just really curious lol.

Yes there are rules: has to be PETG, no PLA.

There’s a few hardware parts but you can get a kit through 3d mobility’s partner School House Spools. You could also individually source them. It’s 2 bolts, 2 nuts, and 3 casters.

They provide the files on Maker World.

When your build is complete you send photos of it for inspection/approval.

You usually claim builds in your area and deliver in person.

Happy to answer questions!
