Sweet Derby was going to be euthanized because his original owners didnt know how to care for him and his deformed front legs. All that changed after he was taken in by rescue and adopted by a new owner, who got him a set of wheels and now this: true freedom of movement through 3D-printed prosthetics. Watch the video and see for yourself! (Note: We were concerned that the limbs seemed too low for Derby, so we did some research. Heres what folks behind the tech have to say: We started this way to give him a chance to get used to his new legs. But with 3D printing its easy to iterate design, so he is being fitted with progressively longer legs until he reaches his optimal height. Work is ongoing and we are about to 3D print the 4th version of his prosthetics. Thanks, science!
