Additional Information: We'd like to get him back to building again! Here are the details: Hey Everyone,
A man with no fingers and one leg who successfully passed the wood shop class at TechShop in SF has asked if we could help 3d print him some fingers. With the holidays in mind, I'm hoping I can recruit a good team to donate their time and help give a hand to someone who has to go through every day of his life without fingers. This will not be a rush job so don't worry about lots of stress and long hours.

Here's what we'll need:
  1. Someone who's good at 3d scanning
  2. a 3d modeler
  3. a designer/engineer
  4. someone good at 3d printing
  5. someone who can record and edit video footage (to document this Techshop project.)

Here's a few shots of the hand we're working with, and a video of what inspired him to ask for our help.

Here's a cool project where they're crowdsourcing the development of 3D printed hands: http://bitly.com/e-nable
