DIY prothesis robohand

[scruffy]

Hi guys, I found this article about a guy printing artificial robotic hands for amputees
http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/roboband/story-fn5fsgyc-1226715733674 . I thought that is was looking into a little more, and found that he is doing this from donations and not charging the people he was helping. The 1st thought I had was once I get set up to 3D print I want to do this, as he has made them for people in Australia and sent them from South Africa. My 2nd thought was where do I know a bunch of people that like to make stuff have the equipment and know how. Thus I'm sharing the links here.
The whole project is open source and available on thingverse

His web site is http://robohand.net/
