Update January 20, 2023 (update from Eric):

A big day today. One of the people who was a double amputee lost both of his prosthetic arms in an emergency. So we were able to see him equipped once more!

 

 

 

Also had our first visit with a couple. He lost a hand in a robbery to a machete. He has had trouble getting jobs since and has five kids. Hoping a new prosthetic will change that for him. We should have one for him in about a week!      I am always amazed at the difference these can make in a life. Very humbling that we can be used for such a job as this.

Note from the home office:  Eric now has the laptop he needs to work with the new Desktop 3D Scanner, thanks to friends bringing it with them.  It arrived in great condition, thanks to being hand carried!

New years eve project. Need a flexible mixing bowl for the plaster of paris that will hopefully find us next week. So, it's order one in, or print one with flexible TPU filament, which I just so happen to have on hand. Just getting it started.
