    You *made* the prosthetic? Good on ya! Can't really tell in the video- nice job!
    Thought it was better than an eye patch or empty socket ... they want way too much money for a plastic one ... four figures ... ouch!

    I missed this post from mid-November. This reminds me of a radio story I heard some time back, featuring a guy with a 3-D printer that was making prosthetic limbs at a small fraction of their ordinary retail price and making them available to people who wouldn't be able to obtain them otherwise.

    Not sure what's happening with denied access to your profile. There are changes to the website in progress, though, maybe something related to that.
