3D Printing Custom
Mobility Trainers!
Hey, I'm Rob! I spend my spare time 3D printing toddler mobility training wheelchairs for the amazing program 3D Mobility hosted by the legendary MakeGood .
The chair I am manufacturing is the official 3D Toddler Mobility Trainer. It is only printed in Sunlu PETG and TPU 95A—no standard PLA here. PETG ensures heavy-duty structural integrity for frame plates, while flexible TPU 95A delivers shock-absorbing traction tires, joystick controls, and custom safety bumpers.

Meet the Maker
Hey, I'm Rob! 👋 I fell in love with 3D printing because of a simple passion: I love making things that are either deeply meaningful or highly functional.
In my workshop, you'll usually find me printing custom personal creations for gift giving to put smiles on faces, or tinkering with useful models that solve real, everyday problems around the house.
How a Simple Reel Changed Everything
My journey into printing toddler wheelchair trainers started on an ordinary afternoon. My partner, Kristina, was scrolling through her phone and came across an Instagram reel showcasing the incredible 3D Mobility project.
The moment she showed it to me, it immediately spoke to me. It clicked instantly: here was an opportunity to take a technical hobby I genuinely enjoy, and channel it toward helping children in need.
"Combining something I love doing with providing life-changing tools for toddler speed-racers gives me an incredible sense of community, fulfillment, and deep, lasting purpose."

Live Transparency Counters
I operate an open book. All donations received from Stripe (along with legacy Patreon support) buy raw materials and spool packs. My direct totals and expenses are audited in real time.

Material Cost Breakdown
I use premium high-strength Sunlu PETG for all heavy structural loadplates and shockproof joints, and Sunlu TPU 95A for elastic rubber tires, joysticks, soft seat spacers, and harness supports. Here is my exact material recipe per wheelchair:
$357.81 – $402.85
Real-world confirmed ~$382 + $50.80 hardware.
Active Donation Goals
I allocate donations to goals in high priority order. My primary goal is funded first—any leftover funds automatically roll over to support the secondary goals! This priority structure also allows me to transparently track exactly whose support is allocated to which item, and assign merchant purchase receipts directly to those funding goals.
Sponsor an Active Toddler Build
Every single mobility trainer is hand-assembled and 3D printed completely free of charge. However, the raw materials and heavy-duty metal hardware cost money. We partner with local small businesses, family groups, and community clubs to sponsor individual builds, getting toddlers off waitlists and moving!
Build Sponsorships
If your small business, family, or local community group wants to sponsor a full chair build for a toddler in need, please use the button below! Be sure to add your name, company, or dedication message to the Nickname/Moniker field during checkout. I will create the entire mobility trainer in your custom color choice and emboss your dedication right onto the frame!
- 🎨Choose the Colors: Select the custom PETG and TPU colors for the trainer's frame plates, wheels, and joystick, matching your local shop's brand or the toddler's favorite colors!
- ⚡Physical Dedication Engraving: A bold, physical SPONSORED BY <YOUR BUSINESS> or a customized heart-warming message is embossed directly onto the main frame plates and wheel hubs.
- 🧾100% Financial Transparency: Sponsoring a build creates a dedicated goal linked directly to live merchant cash receipts in our public ledger, ensuring every penny goes to physical parts.
Empower toddler mobility while showcasing your local business's commitment to community impact.
