  1. Wish they were in India, would be real help to my kitten who unfortunately went out on a bad day and got mauled by a stray dog and her hind legs became paraplegic. Now she drags her ass everywhere and though I tried some DYI solutions having a prosthetic that enables her to be free of the weight and allows smooth movement would be life changing.

  2. 1000$ to 2000$ is outright exploitation. A 24hr FDM print costs 10$ worth of material and 5$ worth electricity. They should at least use SLA printers for better strength and design with that pricing.

  3. 3D printing is amazing and we need more videos that prove that this tech is not only to print out plastic gimmick waste, but items that help everyone around us and even save lives.

  4. I have seen how 3D printing can change lives. My friend started his own non-profit organisation to give 3D printed arms to people. They are functional, allowing the user to grab.

    p.s. we r in our last year of school he started this last year and he has already given some kids arms already. Im really proud of him he is an amazing and caring guy.

  5. My pet took off earlier this year. Got hit by a car on the first night. After hiking for 5 days and 60 miles, I eventually rescued him. We had to saved one and had to amputate his other hind leg and my heart sank because he is only a 1.5 years old. He is already adjusted to running with 3 legs but I am really going to look into this option. Thank you Marques!

  6. 4:45 is a bit of bogus, the software theyre using is Cura, youre really not fine tuning each layer, the software just slaps something together quick & usually in a not all that well thought out of a way.

  7. I’m an early adopter of 3D printers and I don’t understand how anyone doesn’t have one. I’m constantly printing replacement parts or improvements for things. Also, the ability to hop on CAD and design anything you need is invaluable to me.

  8. Many animals can benefit from this tech. Cleo really has no need for her prosthesis though. She is so mobile on 3 that adding a weighted component just slows her down. I cared for a 3 legged goat for many years. Same thing, 3 legs worked fine, not as good as 4, but a prosthesis would have just been another physical burden. Cleo has nearly full strength and agility. Good tech, but each situation is different. A prosthesis does not make Cleo's life better. She is very patient with you. Learning to 'deal' with it is not the same as 'needing' it or 'using' it.
