Added 2024-10-08 21:06:48 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
So this month I've added a wheelchair to my list of mobility aids to help me stay safe and stable while out with my illnesses (especially alone). Which of course, means I got right to work designing things I found that I needed/wanted for my chair!
Like the cane clips, all of these are available for free now! That way they're more accessible to fellow wheelchair users, AND these don't take spots from y'alls promised designs every month, since I made them for myself and I know not everyone will make use of them. But hopefully since they help me or make me happier with my chair, they can help someone else too! They were all designed for my rigid Quickie chair so there's not a guarantee they'll fit for everyone.
As always, seller tier subscribers also have commercial usage of these!
So we have:
Cup/phone holder with rotating bottom to help adjust for different chair shapes. (I use 1/2" velcro straps to secure it) https://than.gs/m/1151262
Wheel guards, since my 2nd hand chair didn't have any. These keep the wheels from eating my clothes. They clamp onto the bottom using 5M nuts and bolts and then the guards themselves and slide in and out as needed. https://than.gs/m/1150889
Bag hook, since my chair doesn't have handlebars, this helps make sure my backpack stays on my seat securely! https://than.gs/m/1149566
And the fun one-- Dragon wheel accessory! These guys clamp onto the wheel spokes and are pretty solid in place! They also fit many standard bicycle spokes as well. https://than.gs/m/1150888
If you're not on Thangs, you can also find these guys on Cults3D and Makerworld, too!

As always, I'd love to hear what other disability/accessibility designs y'all would like to see! I hope y'all enjoy these <3
Thanks so much for all your support!

2024-10-31 04:56:17 +0000 UTCI used 5 or 6 for mine! You can use as many as you'd like/depending on the spacing on your chair spokes :) Thanks so much!!

2024-10-20 00:05:31 +0000 UTCHey hun, how many clips do we need to print for the dragon wheel centres? I think these are absolutely amazing!

2024-10-19 11:50:37 +0000 UTCThanks so much! Ohhhh yeah that could be so helpful!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-13 05:06:07 +0000 UTCThese are amazing, one thing I keep trying to figure out how to make is an insulin pump clip.

2024-10-10 12:06:54 +0000 UTCSuper!! Thank you!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-10 04:36:36 +0000 UTCJust checked and it should be able to attach pretty well! :)

2024-10-10 04:29:07 +0000 UTCI sent you pics via fb messanger. Feel free to share them

2024-10-10 04:17:08 +0000 UTCGreat to know!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-10 04:16:31 +0000 UTCThank you so much!! Omg yes, fellow POTSie here and that's the main reason I'm utilizing a wheelchair now. After passing out, having to be carried, or lying on store floors and having to call for help, I finally decided this will help me be much safer and independent and keep my body more stable <3 Speaking of hEDS, I have several friends with it too and was just looking at possibly designing finger splints for that as well
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-10 04:16:18 +0000 UTCOhhh that would be a wonderful option! I'm not sure if printing in PLA would be the best material for something like that if it needs to wrap/secure around your arm? Hrmmmm
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-10 04:14:55 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear he's on the road to recovery! <3 I hope the cupholder helps him in the meantime! :)
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-10 04:14:03 +0000 UTCThanks so much! Ohhh that's awesome you were able to get an electric one to help you out more! We definitely more designs out there to help accessibility with these helpful accessories!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-10 04:13:28 +0000 UTCThese are great designs! I would’ve love them even I used a manual chair. I’m in an electric chair now and it’s so much better for me. I’ve been trying to think of designs I can make for my chair. I need some sort of dragon for my wheels!! I did create a cup holder that fits in the accessory bar in the arm of my chair. I printed it with the free roll of Carbon Fiber PLA that came with my Bambu and it works great.

2024-10-10 00:05:42 +0000 UTCMy husband will be out of his wheelchair soon as he is recovering from his stroke but I will be making him the wheelchair cup holder for while we are at vendor shows. He always spills his coffee.

2024-10-09 19:08:50 +0000 UTCI would love to see a cover/protector for the Dexcom G7. I'm so active or clumsy, however you look at it. Many times, I hit it on the door when I'm walking by, and it has ripped itself off my arm. A cover for that would be great. I have not tried it myself; honestly, I wouldn't know where to begin except in TinkerCAD.
Charlie Ray
2024-10-09 12:56:12 +0000 UTCThese are amazing! I do not currently have a wheelchair myself, but as someone with hEDS and POTS I'm so prepared for it and will absolutely be saving these! I also have a couple of hEDS friends with Wheelchairs that I will absolutely be printing dragons for! Thank you!
Elizabeth Kusak
2024-10-09 07:25:42 +0000 UTCIt does work but I busted the "fins" off the cup holder part. I'm reprinting now with a higher infil

2024-10-09 05:43:20 +0000 UTCAwww wow that's so rough! I hope this can help him some! <3
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-09 02:24:27 +0000 UTCThanks so much! Awww yay that's so great!! It's amazing being able to create things to solve problems for yourself! <3 I'm so excited for y'all.

2024-10-09 02:23:53 +0000 UTCMy nephews both have OI (brittle bones). Adyn the older boy has been in a wheelchair on and off most of his life and has had to learn to walk again 3 times. He is 16! These designs brought tears to my eyes. What an honor it will be to make these! I can't wait to tell their mom!
Oriana Servick
2024-10-09 02:00:05 +0000 UTCLove this! My daughter is in a wheelchair and the 2nd week of having a printer I learned enough in fusion to create and print a piece for a problem that we had been trying to fuss with a solution for years.

2024-10-09 01:57:49 +0000 UTCAww thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it <3 I hope the holder works well for you! :)
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-09 01:50:33 +0000 UTCI'm a new subscriber, and I've been in a wheelchair my whole life. This is amazing. I never really comment on things, but I wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate you, and for the first time in a long time, I actually feel seen. Best of luck with your health. I can't wait to try the cup holder. I've been trying to find one to hold my owala for months.

2024-10-09 01:33:33 +0000 UTCYou're so welcome! I hope he enjoys them <3
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-09 00:57:58 +0000 UTCOhhh nice! Yes please let me know!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-09 00:57:51 +0000 UTCOhhh that's a great idea! I'll think on that one!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-09 00:57:43 +0000 UTCThank you for these My son can use these.
Rachellann Brunner
2024-10-09 00:54:52 +0000 UTCoh, this should fit on the arms of my directors chair i use for events. ill give it a try and let you know if it works
carrie roehrig
2024-10-09 00:27:17 +0000 UTCWhat do you think about break handle extensions? I am thinking you would have to use PETG for strength but in our nonprofit we hear that people are often struggling with the breaks not being visible enough, long enough for those with tone issues to grasp and they could absolutely look cooler!!
Andrea Graham
2024-10-09 00:18:03 +0000 UTCAwesome! I hope it works for him <3
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 23:54:27 +0000 UTCI’ve got a student with a gait trainer. I’ll see about making him a cup holder. 🥰

2024-10-08 23:53:49 +0000 UTCAww yay! That's great to hear! <3

2024-10-08 22:55:53 +0000 UTCMy daughter saw these and was so excited for useful prints to help people (she works in a hospital)

Ariel Tanski
2024-10-08 22:03:00 +0000 UTCOh great question! I actually have one of those too for around the house xD So I'll check and get back to you on that!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 22:02:01 +0000 UTCAww yay!!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 22:01:39 +0000 UTCAww yay! I hope he enjoys them <3
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 22:01:33 +0000 UTCAlways love to see more accessibility designs. Would the cup/phone holder work with a rollator? I don't personally use one, so I can't print and check, but I think my friend who uses one would love this!
Ariel Tanski
2024-10-08 21:55:43 +0000 UTCMy daughter has a medical stroller and she will LOVE the dragon wheels!
Morgan Masterson
2024-10-08 21:36:10 +0000 UTCThis is amazing! Some of these will be great for my 13 year old son in his power chair! Thank you!!!!

2024-10-08 21:34:52 +0000 UTCPlease make them I agree they would be great. I know it would make his day.

2024-10-08 21:26:37 +0000 UTCI hope these help him! Ohhhh wheel snakes would be so fun!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 21:24:38 +0000 UTCThis is great my best friend just ended up in a wheelchair. He is a ball python breeder. Any chance you would make a snasnake for the wheels ?

2024-10-08 21:24:10 +0000 UTCOhhhh I love that idea!!
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 21:24:09 +0000 UTCI would love to see a sliding energy meter pin or key chain that I can flash at people letting them know I'm low energy and why I'm not talking or taking it slow. It can be so draining explaining why I'm taking so long or not chatting. Feel like this could go for everyone not just us low energy people. You could also clip it to a wheel chair too.
kj kildare
2024-10-08 21:23:44 +0000 UTCSo far I've only done designs made to fit my manual rigid chair, but it's possibly some of them could fit a power chair depending on what model it is :)
Kirsten McKenzie
2024-10-08 21:14:13 +0000 UTCAny chance you can do one for a power wheelchair?
