      The best thing i have printed is a prosthetic hand for a little girl who had lost her fingers. We made her a fully functioning hand with moving fingers for less than 5 euros (most medical prosthetic hands cost more than 5,000 euros). As she grows up and gets bigger, we can make her bigger version of the hand, and then print new parts if any get broken.
