(OC) A redditor who I will name in the comments has built me a new finger after insurance turned me down for one. They took an existing design and customized it with my feedback and made me whole again. It should be known that Limb Labs wanted 15 to 20 thousand dollars for one.

Several months ago I asked a few 3D printing subs if someone could print me a prosthetic because insurance had turned me down. I am low income and it was too much to afford one out of pocket. A redditor took an existing design that I found and began customization of it for me. Several versions later they have built me a working version and begun work for someone missing a thumb. It's been a learning process but they have a skill that blows me away and have printed me a new finger for several thousand dollars less than what I was being offered. This technology is going to change the industry.
