Cause/Issue:
- C3PO is in need of a prosthetic arm
- More than 1.6 million people in US have some type of limb loss (including fingers and toes) ~Amputee Coalition
- It is estimated that more than 500 Americans lose a limb each day but because technology has advanced so much sometimes we can’t even tell if someone has a prosthetic ~ Mobility Works
Idea: to make a prosthetic for C3PO that fits properly
How Idea addresses cause: A lot of prosthetics don’t comfortably fit so I wasn’t to make an arm that fits into the socket
This was my first print out, and it fit pretty well, but it was a right hand. So I changed it to a left hand and made the socket a little smaller.
This was my second print, and it fits really well which is what I was hoping for.
