Hi, I'm Zac. I 3D print wheelchairs for kids who need them.

I got into 3D printing by watching YouTube videos about it. My favorite part is putting all the pieces together.

One of those videos, How 3D Printing is Changing Mobility from the 3D Printing Nerd channel, showed me that you could 3D print a wheelchair. I wanted to use my printer to help someone, and that's how I found MakeGood.

MakeGood is a nonprofit that designed the chairs I build and shares the design for free. Families post a request on MakeGood's 3D Mobility site, and volunteer makers browse the requests and choose one to build. So far, more than 3,000 chairs have been delivered across six continents.

For my first chair, I chose a request from a 21-month-old girl here in Utah who was born with cerebral palsy. Read the story of my first wheelchair.

Small wheelchairs cost a lot and can be hard to get covered by insurance, so these chairs fill a real gap. The family never pays for any of it. Donations cover the printer, filament, and parts.

I want to keep getting better at 3D printing, and one day be as good as the MakeGood engineers who designed this chair. When I grow up, I want to work at a company like Apple or Tesla and invent new products.
