Public Domain Prosthetic Hand 31

New submitter Zeussy writes "While looking around Thingiverse for something to 3D-print, I found this awesome public domain prosthetic hand designed for a 5-year-old child called Liam, who was born without any fingers on his right hand. The design is based on parts either 3D-printed or bought from your local hardware store. It's body powered via cables and bungees; see it in action in this video. They are currently running a Fundly Fundraiser."

    You take your kid to the family doctor:

    Doc: Nice to see you both again. So, uh, where did you get that prosthetic hand for little Tommy?
    Dad: I downloaded some designs from the internet and built it myself.
    Doc: *gape*
