Hunter's comment

Sometimes life is unfair. Somes kids born without arms and hands. But thanks to two guys working out of a shed, the Team Unlimbited, they are given free prosthetics with personalized designs!
Stephen Davies and Drew Murray 3D print all prosthetics out of a single backyard shed in Swansea, Whales and give free prosthetics to kids all around the world.
The kids get to pick their own colors and patterns then Davies and Murray take care of the rest!
The concept is pretty simple, but can be a life-changing for those kids: Bending the elbow clenches a fist, straightening the elbow opens the hand.
Davies is an engineer and father who was also born without a hand. He was disappointed with the shoddy prosthetic that he was offered by the UK National Health Service. In search of a better hand, he found Keynes who is part of a volunteer group that makes prosthetics. So happy with his new hand, Davie teamed with Keynes to improve the design: Team Unlimbited was born!
Each hand costs less than $26 in materials to make and only 12 hours to build. And they are totally self-funded by Team Unlimbited and its donations.
