Psychologists have confirmed many years ago that dolls play an important role in the development of girls' self-esteem, especially in real-life situations with insecurities. It is very important that a girl has a doll that she can identify with and can be substituted into it. So Ruiz Brothers, a team of open source hardware hotspot Adafruit, designed 3D printed dolls for girls with disabilities and prosthetics so that anyone can make them at home.
The reason for launching such a project, the maker team was mainly inspired by a video that was madly transmitted on Facebook last month. In this video, the American Texas girl Emma with a prosthetic got a prosthetic. American Girl doll, realized that this doll is as happy and happy as her. This video played more than 36 million times in a month.
To this end, Ruiz Brothers decided to launch an open source project that would allow anyone to create their own 3D printed doll prosthesis to help children with similar needs to Emma. All you need is a 3D printer and some simple tools, but the 3D printed prosthesis is mainly for the American Girl brand.
If you want to know if you have to cut off the body of your child's favorite doll, fortunately, the answer is no, because the 3D printed prosthesis designed by Ruiz Brothers can completely replace the original body of the doll. In addition, these prosthetics are designed with Autodesk's Fusion 360 software, so you can easily modify them to suit your actual needs.
To modify the American Girl doll, you first have to print the prosthesis in 3D, you can choose to use your own desktop 3D printer or through the outside 3D printing service. These 3D printed prostheses are designed to match the original joint interface of the American Girl doll, so it is relatively easy to install. To install a 3D printed prosthesis, you must first remove the doll's head by untangling the rope around your neck. Then, if necessary, you can remove some fillers. You can then remove the original body of the doll by simply unfastening the internal fixing rope (these can be done with the help of pliers).
Next, to install a 3D printed prosthesis, you'll need a 7-inch NinjaFlex wire or a flexible cord and a flexible 3D printed internal cavity. Pass the elastic cord through the receiving cavity and tie a knot on one side. Then you should be able to combine the receiving cavity with the prosthesis.
To put the prosthesis on your body, all you have to do is install the 3D printed internal receiving cavity in place, then pass the dove's leg or arm string through it, and tie a knot again to make it as close as possible to the body. Make sure your limbs are tight so that the doll can maintain its body posture. Once the prosthesis is in place, you can reload the filler and attach the head, so you create a doll with a prosthetic.
