Nice work Carsten.
What material did you use? Alumide? Would love to hear how long it lasts!
Yes, and I will let you know, until now (= 1 day) there is no problem

Can you sue yourself when it breaks?

Yeah, but good luck getting paid after lawyer's fees for both sides.

Maybe I can ask Csaba to combine his SU and lawyer skills in that case...

cool work cotty! so you have a 3D printer at home? are there already cheap ones?
-
If so, I'm really jealous.
On the Cube 3D, ordered in Dusseldorf, I wait more than a half a year and the payment in advance. -

3D printing is going to change the world, and here is a perfect example, that chair would be put on the tip normally, 10 kilos of steel, fabric, plastic, etc. I've done it myself. But now we can repair and indeed improve our material world.
Bring it on.

BazYes. And for more complicated parts that commonly need replacing, where the manufacturer has no incentive to make and ship to end user, experts might provide digital models for DL by average consumers. Better yet one might scan the old one and make the repair digitally for printing.

Only just realised, the link is to an actual prosthetic for real. Duck off!!!
