Printing wheelchair #2 right now
Hi, I'm Zac. I 3D print wheelchairs for kids who need them.
I build small, colorful wheelchairs for toddlers who can't get around on their own. My first one went to a 2-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. I'm printing the next one now.

About me
I'm a teenager in Utah who loves 3D printing. I volunteer as a maker with MakeGood, a nonprofit that connects makers with families of kids who need a mobility device.
MakeGood shares an open design. I print the parts and put the chair together, and the family gets it free.
How it works
Each chair takes hundreds of hours of printing, plus wheels, bolts, straps, and a lot of assembly. The family never pays for any of it.
Donations cover the printer, filament, and parts, so I can keep building chairs for the next kid who needs one.
The last build
