Update October 1, 2021:

Things are moving along very well since Eric got the printer and the necessary supplies. So well, in fact, that the young man may have his new hand very soon!  Eric has posted some photos and a short video as the manufacturing process has been progressing.  You can see them on the IMS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/444644079017550/?sorting_setting=CHRONOLOGICAL

For those who can't access the Facebook page, here's a few photos.  The first one is the finished main palm piece of the hand:

Next, assembling the fingers and hand that were made...

Now to just install the "ligament" strings to make it all work...

 

About to install the gell fingertips and velcro arm straps... also a view of the bottom of the "hand"...

 

 

And now for a photo of the finished hand! To see the video of how it will work, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFLxDEjQSbc

 

 

I haven't talked to Eric today, so I'm not sure when the young man will be getting fitted for his new hand.  Probably soon :)   Thanks again to all for your support and prayers!
