the family i recently built a tmt for is asking about any mods that could tilt the tmt back some because their child lacks some of the core strenght to hold herself up full time. this is definitely something i have the skill to design myself but i wanted to see if anyone has already tackled this? my first idea is just to bump up the front wheels to 2 inch casters and drop the back caster to 3.5 to give just a slight tilt to help her not lean to far forward but keep it where she still has some freedom to move and play with others aswell. i wanted to try that before going to edit any of the model to get the tilt.
any brainstorming ideas are welcome or if someone has already tackled this or tried to play around with the wheels to get this result please let me know
As Makers, we are not supposed to modify any of the parts. That’s part of the agreement we had to make when we signed up.
That being said, this has come up in the past and I remember @MakeGood_Noam mentioning that this is where the physical therapist comes in and they can use foam and other means to form a “hump” in the front and help tilt the child back how they are needed.
All correct. Thanks everyone for understanding. We get asked this a lot. Making the entire chair more custom and adjustable is in the works (far in the future). Making it completely parametric so everyone is basically custom is the goal
