Rightfooted Foundation

We’re turning 3D printing into practical tools for people without arms.

Thanks to a generous donation from Bambu Lab 3D, Rightfooted Foundation just received our new H2C printer and accessories, and we’re putting it to work right away.

Many of the dressing hooks we distribute around the world are already 3D printed. These tools help people without arms dress themselves independently after using the bathroom. Now we can prototype faster, improve designs, and produce more tools in-house.

First project: the “Poo-ch Pouch.”

Jessica currently carries used dog p**p bags under her chin while working with her service dog, Chewie. Functional? Yes. Ideal? Absolutely not.

So we designed a clip system that attaches to Chewie’s collar and helps carry the bag more independently and comfortably.

It works... but there’s definitely room for improvement.

That’s where we’d love your help.

How would you redesign this?

What clip mechanisms, filament choices, or flexible vs. rigid material combinations would you try?

And what other adaptive tools should we prototype next for people without arms?

We’re just getting started, and we hope this becomes a collaborative space where makers, engineers, designers, therapists, and people with lived experience can help build better solutions together.

Also, if anyone wants to donate a handheld steady cam... we clearly need one of those too.
