Please make a post and use the provided flairs; please describe what you need in reasonable detail and attach or be prepared to send pictures that you think may be useful to the great people here. If you have a Printer and are happy to help, that’s great. You don’t need to be super experienced or trained in CAD; you may need to print and post something to someone closer to you than anyone else. Please use your common sense when it comes to locations and such. Please avoid making posts saying that you have a printer, and instead, approach people who have questions asking for help. You can set your printer type in your user flair. If you are an engineer or trained in CAD software such as Creo Parametric, Siemens NX, Solidworks etc., please add the “designer” flair to yourself. Your skills are valuable and useful universally, regardless of whether you have a 3D printer, as you can send the STL to others closer to the target receiver. — — ## IMPORTANT NOTICE Please be realistic about what can be done, do not trust your life to any solution offered here, do not expect the parts to handle heavy abuse, please do not use any parts in situations where they may be damaged or may damage you, such as labour, driving or sport.

    When covid came, the local 3D print clubs/maker communities got together and mass-printer a variety of ear savers for the full range of local healthcare workers and first responders, then expanded to essential workers like drug store and grocery workers, mail carriers and delivery persons. [It was a variety of styles for the ear savers, because different styles worked better for different people.] It was a great effort, and we remember and remain appreciative of the help and support our community gave us.

    Very cool. Are there laws about practicing medicine without a license (at least in some jurisdictions) that might need to be navigated carefully when, for instance, making a prosthetic or some such for a human?

    I remember looking into the OpenEEG projecct long ago. I remember hearing of folks getting into legal trouble for lending a homemade EEG unit to someone else. Not sure if that applies to 3d-printed “medical … and quality-of-life” devices (for humans.)

      I believe there is, hence the notes on the sidebar and wiki; this started from someone on reddit that could not afford a prosthetic. I am just moving a copy here as I helped with that one. The wiki is open to edit for such a page, which will be done eventually if it takes off.
