Have you ever used a 3D printer? If you haven’t, you’ve no doubt seen one in action on TV. These neat inventions open up a whole new world of design for creatives and hobbyists across the globe. These printers come in all sizes, from small hobbyist sets to large-scale printers that create medical-grade prosthetic limbs. The possibilities are endless with 3D printers, and the things that people invent are awe-inspiring. From everyday items with a twist to mind-blowing inventions that push the limits of what’s possible, these 3D creations are sure to inspire you. Here are some of the coolest, most creative things people have made with a 3D printer.
#1: Wheelchair Spikes
Someone designed these unique wheelchair accessories to add to the handles. They are bright, spiky handles that serve two purposes. They’re eye-catching and preventative. The person who created these was sick and tired of people grabbing their wheelchair and moving them without their consent. These spiky handles send the message that their wheelchair is hands-off unless you ask.
People grabbing someone’s wheelchair without consent is a big problem that many people don’t think about. Well-meaning people might grab and navigate someone in a wheelchair, thinking they’re helping. Most people in wheelchairs will tell you that it’s not appreciated. If someone needs help, they will ask for it. Maybe the person behind these 3D-printed spikes can start selling them!
