First build is officially underway! #1703

A local Facebook group has decided to join forces for doing a minimum of one build, with a local store donating 10 rolls of filament. I’ve already completed and approved on the vetting, so we chose our recipient, a local family. Right now, I’m the only Maker in a 100 mile radius. Middle Georgia 3D Printing Group

One of the requests from the family was Ms Rachel and that the 2yr old girl loves purple. So, she’ll be receiving a purple chair, with pink cushions and Ms Rachel wheels. I’m thinking that the tires should be a combination of Yellow & Orange to represent the sun in the hubcap. The straps and harness will be Blue, to look like Ms Rachels overalls. My wife and step-daughter want to deliver the chair once it’s finished, with both of them dressed as Ms Rachel. She also wants to buy a pack of pink shirts for the little girl so she looks like Ms Rachel when she’s strapped in her chair. I’ll be honest - just thinking about the final assembly and delivery brings tears to my eyes.

We’re all super-excited to be a part of this project!

I think the Ms Rachel wheel has been the most popular by far. I have shipped out 3 sets of them already and I know several others have printed on their own!

Delivery will hit you. It makes you forget about every printing struggle, every dollar spent on filament and fuel, all of it. This project is one of the most meaningful things I have ever been apart of.

I would love to be part of the delivery, but no one wants to see an old man cry.
