I just found this two days ago, and I am ecstatic.
The video explains it well but the cliff notes are

-Attachable wheelchair hand drives
-Cost $40-100 for parts only
-Plans, instructions, 3D printing files, etc are FREE

-This is a thing you can have made right now
-Not ‘hopefully by 2060’
-Not ‘for $6,000 and 2 pints of your own blood’
-Now
-I’m looking at 3D printing services and ordering hardware online as I type

-This is what I’ve been hoping 3D printing could do since I first heard about it
-I haven’t been this excited since I read about the possibility of 3D-printed kidneys

-This was made by students
-None of the money required for this goes to them
-This was their project
-This is just for designing with accessibility in mind
-They rocked it
-And they want to share it and have it tested and keep improving
-I don’t know what they’re doing now or doing next, but they are so creative and intelligent and hard-working
-They’ll keep rocking whatever it is
-Shine on you beautiful diamonds

I’ll blog my progress making and using this
It’s going to be one heck of a ride

Wow!
