Possibly my best 3D design so far, and it is free- Crutch Caddy

[@BeamMeUpLaserEngraving]

Great job Clack. Every bad story has a good story. When I hurt my leg for 2 months my view changed on people with injuries. The simple tasks we take for granted are so much more difficult with injuries or disabilities.

[@TheClackShack]

Very true.. it is far more challenging

[@ChadsChristmasLights]

Clack, youre a good man and this will mean the world to some people that use crutches on a daily basis.

[@TheClackShack]

I hope so..

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for thinking of others! May God bless you and your family!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks..

[@stratosg9899]

You radiate goodness, sir.

[@TheClackShack]

Hey, thanks

[@geneowen9584]

Clack!!! This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with everyone and for having such a kind caring heart. You’re greatly appreciated.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks… just doing what is right

[@larrystaas1940]

Thank you for the file and like you said, everybody knows somebody this could benefit.

[@TheClackShack]

Very welcome, hope it helps

[@kenamosjr.bo_51]

Good to see your getting better, looks like nice design.

[@TheClackShack]

Yes, thanks

[@jeanwillis810]

May God bless you, for thinking of this gadget. It can help so many people. Thank you

[@TheClackShack]

Yes, thank you

[@naterife8871]

Good to see you back in the Shack. Cool idea. Will be great for others too.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks 👍

[@RBallarddesigns]

Elastic is my friend. Good solution Clack. I dig it

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks…

[@nipajhaveri434]

That's awesome, Clack.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks!

[@Bespokelasers]

Clack, you should share that with the Shrine Hospitals for the children that need to use crutches. Great job.

[@TheClackShack]

That is one use for sure

[@nathanwolf5547]

I’m not a vet, but I am disabled. You’ve actually given me an idea to replace the side panels on my wheelchair. Thank you!

[@TheClackShack]

Sounds like a good project idea for sure.

[@steveferguson1232]

Glad To see You In the Shop again. Just Don’t Over Do ot

[@TheClackShack]

I am having to limit what I can do but at least I can do stuff.

[@magnusltd]

Hoping you grow stronger every day!

[@TheClackShack]

Me too

[@markpatterson3189]

Foamy tape aka weatherstripping. Gonna make me a set for after my upcoming hip replacement surgery. Definitely a great idea!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks.. I hope they help. I was surprised at how useful they were

[@ELO-Lab]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheClackShack]

You bet!

[@craftingwithjean5599]

Thank you for this. I do have a 3d printer and have used crutches a few times. Will print to use and to share the item with others. Thank You!

[@TheClackShack]

Sounds great!

[@kevinrich4637]

Useful design. Great job! Hope you get to healing quickly

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks

[@TrevorMatthews]

Similar age to you (might have a few on you) and been through 6 knee surgeries now. Spent many months on crutches so I feel your pain! Keep up the positive attitude, it’s half the battle!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks, hoping this is my only one.

[@tpace8743]

That's a great idea. Get well buddy. Todd

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks

[@barriehanold4785]

Good job sir.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks

[@MarklTucson]

Very cool. Rehab places with 3D printers makes sense for many different things. That could become its own thing

[@TheClackShack]

I think so too

[@fbakerii]

You are amazing!!!!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks..

[@569harm]

Get well soon man, I snapped my patella tendon 5 months ago and am still getting fit, it's a very slow process but stay positive.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks, work in progress

[@VIPER35GP]

Get well soon buddy

[@TheClackShack]

Trying to, thanks

[@robcarnaroli269]

Very cool. Didn't catch what material. I landed on PETG for everything functional these days. PLA gets soft in the heat of a car.

[@TheClackShack]

PETG would be best for sure. I have been using mostly PLA but plan to transition now that the Bambu is in the mix.

[@DavenportDecals]

Very cool and love your attitude. Some thing to think about--you may want to patent it so that others can't take it and sell it. A couple years ago, I saw a gentleman create something for a fellow crafter that was struggling. She used it on her KZbin channel and it blew up in the community. Now companies are selling it.

[@TheClackShack]

Maybe

[@john-o3x1g]

Good man

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks.. So far, a coupe of folks have benefited from it..

[@nathanwolf5547]

What happened to the beer caddy? 😂 Glad to see you on your feet again, Dave.

[@TheClackShack]

I guess the mounting design could serve other options.. lol

[@FredSchmitthammer]

Time for a design patent!

[@TheClackShack]

It is pending…lol

[@naterife8871]

I call that a God send. Patient pending? Lol

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks

[@EdCameron-bn3xu]

You should check for a paton

[@TheClackShack]

I have checked on other things and it is a bit pricey. I am just calling it "patent pending".. lol

[@torowazup1]

God Bless 🙏🏼📿

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks… you also

[@chadsmith4926]

Glad to hear that you are doing better. I submitted a question on the Atomstack X 70 video, not sure if you’ll find it there. Long story short we cracked our lens after adding it to shop air. Do you have yours on shop air and if so, what might I be doing wrong. We do have a air separator at the compressor and each laser. After the crack, I added desk and dryer and cracked the second protective lens. Help!

[@TheClackShack]

Probably gonna be water in the lines. Drain the tank and make sure the intake filter on the compressor isn’t blocked

[@brianpacchetti5028]

Incredible idea Clack! I wish I knew more about 3D printing and designing projects. Curious. What is printing with A1 and "AMS" mean? and... Is your Bambulab A1 a standard or combo version? Are your 3D print files in STL format? Sorry for asking multiple questions here. You may end up mixing in some 3D Printing videos to evaluate more tools.

[@TheClackShack]

Mine is the A1 with the AMS. The AMS is the device that manages the different spools of filament. I export mine in STL

[@cassandraknight6485]

Get a patent and share the wealth! As you said, life changing/saving.

[@TheClackShack]

It is pending….

[@johnbenedict3325]

If you do fall will the phone stay in the holder?

[@TheClackShack]

Should stay close, I haven’t wanted to test it…lol..

[@Bespokelasers]

Clack, get an Apple Watch, if it detects a fall it will ask if you want to call your emergency contact or 911. Hope you’re doing better. Sunday night was a good show. God bless

[@TheClackShack]

I have an Apple Watch, I wear it most days

[@Bespokelasers]

When are you making a cup holder for your crutches or a walker?

[@TheClackShack]

The cup holder just seemed like a recipe for a mess

[@Bespokelasers]

@@TheClackShack I was thinking if people in walkers.

[@TheClackShack]

@@Bespokelasers that would work

[@nathanwolf5547]

I’m not a vet, but I am disabled. You’ve actually given me an idea to replace the side panels on my wheelchair. Thank you!

[@TheClackShack]

There is another idea.. Good project idea.
