My first designed and printed baby chicken prosthetic!

I got a 3D printer to make devices for chickens with deformed limbs. I reached out to a lady from r/BackYardChickens who had posted pictures of a chick with little stubby outer toes. It’s having problems staying balanced so I designed these little boots to help it out. I’m going to print off a bunch in different sizes and mail them to her tomorrow. I’ve got no experience in CAD or 3D printing, so this is pretty basic, but I’m proud of it for a first attempt.The one on top was the first design, I added \”toes\” to the second one and I’ve since removed the \”toe ring\” and replaced it with a channel for the toe to go in and be taped into place. https://ift.tt/2zzuxje
