3D Printed FLEXIBLE Prosthetic Duck Foot | 3D Printer Creates a Useful Medical Device
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Outline: This video highlights how designed and built multiple 3d printed prosthetic duck feet to help a duck walk. The duck is owned by a family friend and when the duck was just a baby, its foot was bit off by a snapping turtle leaving her with a tender stump. Therefore, I tried both simple and complex engineering solutions to ultimately land on a working solution. The majority of my prototypes were printed with PRILINE PETG (white), but the final designs were printed with flexible TPU filament. I used both my Artillery Sidewinder X1 and Ender 3 Pro 3D printers for rapid prototyping and made a total of close to 10 different prosthetic duck foot prototypes. All of which were 3d printed. Standings as a unique 3d printed medical device, it will hopefully increase the duck's quality of life as she now can walk more safely and efficiency. The fully TPU prosthetic duck foot design also enables swimming in the lake without harm of the prosthetic device or the duck. Lastly, one of the best aspects of the project was its extremely low material cost coming in below $20.
