It was a double TMT completion night, can't wait to drop these off to Michael and Anthony!

Want to see how you can use a 3D printer to make a big difference for local families? Drop us a line and we'd love to connect - we need more Makers like you!

Sarah completed the BE FAST Stroke Awareness 5K today - I was excited to cheer you on as a part of your team!! A few months ago Sarah's mom Leah reached out to see if we could help design a device that would allow Sarah to use her Zeen in a more comfortable position while walking longer distances. After a few visits, sketches, Sunday walks, and revisions - we were ready with prototype 3. Learned a lot today during this 3.1 mile test drive that will inform design decisions for V4. Onward!

One of the absolute best parts of building a Toddler Mobilty Trainer (TMT) is the opportunity to meet the recipient of the TMT and their families! This week we had the privilege of meeting Raiden and Chloe and helping them with their initial fit and experience on this wonderful device design from MakeGood.

Do you have a 3D printer and want to make an impact on your local community? Message us or send an inquiry to [email protected] to learn about how to get started or to partner with us! We'll supply the materials and lend our expertise to ensure more high quality TMTs are made available to local families.

MakeGood makes it easy to get started on a path to being a vetted maker, finding local recipients, and managing the overall workflow. We'd love to see more local participation in building this game-changing device!

The Faithful Fabricators assembled a TMT this evening for Chloe and we are looking forward to meeting her in a future pickup/dropoff. We also quality checked recently printed parts for Raiden's Spiderman TMT and sent out filament and print plate assignments for Anthony's Orange Red and Yellow TMT. Excited to be back in full swing with TMT production with new volunteers and printing throughput to support this amazing device for amazing kids!

Are you in the Toledo metro area, have a 3D printer, and want to team up with us? Drop us a line! We'll supply the filament and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

The Faithful Fabricators had some fun tonight learning to adapt this whistling, motorized, light up snail toy. (Caution, don't have your speakers up too loud!) Next week we'll refine the process and document the steps as another adaptable toy in our collection. We're also back into TMT production and are excited to build more of these incredible devices for our local community!

Enjoyed our visit to Sunshine Communities new Tech House! It's like the IKEA of Assistive Tech - each room was carefully thought out and filled with interesting assistive technology. No matter your level of experience with adapted tools you are very likely to learn about and experience compelling technology solutions you've never seen in person before. For me, seeing an Obi in person (robot with spoon) was the definitive highlight of the house.

Thank you to Audrey for being an excellent tour guide!

Wrapped up version 2 of an adapted pedal protoype for a tricycle user named Jariyah. We're pretty close on this attempt! Next revision should be the keeper. Used Anthropic's Claude Code which is steeply discounted for non-profits. Once the MCP server was set up I had a conversation with Claude about the design goals, constraints, and desired parameters and then we co-authored a fully parameterized design in Fusion. This workflow is an interesting one that I'll likely repeat as we seek to create additional new device designs that we make available to the community at no cost.

We can all be makers, in the future it will be even easier as technology advances - drop us a note if you'd like to learn more!

The Faithful Fabricators recently completed a playset for a local family as part of Five Lakes Church Make A Difference month. Each July we intentionally go out as a church and serve the community with the skills and talents that God provides using the situations and opportunities that He also provides. This was a challenging build that required problem solving, humility, and various talents across the whole group. Each Fabricator contributed with at least one major solution to blockers - proud of my crew and so happy to meet a great family that we had the privilege to serve!

TMT 11 is complete! Coco and her family dropped by the Five Lakes Life Center and it was great to meet them and see Coco using her new TMT ❤️. We even got a little soldering done in preparation for our upcoming Sunshine Communities Tech House visit.

Special thanks to Rubber and Gasket Company of America for making this latest round of TMTs possible!

Want to get involved with building the TMT? We need more Makers like you! DM us to learn more about how MakeGood is making it very easy to get started at any skill level!!

Completed a request for adapted toys and new accessibility switches for a patient family at Toledo - thanks to Marina for connecting us to the need!

Adapting toys is fun! Want to learn the basics of safely disassembling a toy, circuit diagnosis, and soldering? Contact us and we'd love to coordinate a free workshop with you to learn these skills!

We need more Makers to join in to help us fulfill these local project requests!
