17-Year-Old Creates a 3D-Printed Robotic Prosthetic Arm for $250 Combining a Nintendo Power Glove with 3D-printed parts, 17-year-old Easton LaChappelle has designed an incredible robotic prosthetic arm. Made from LEGO bricks, fishing wire, and surgical tubing, LaChapelle’s robotic arm earned him 3rd place in the Colorado Science Fair of 2011 – which inspired him to go even further with the 3D-printed design.

I decided to leave out some of the details on the decorations, but I’m still pleased with how it came out.
