Bubbles the dachshund was born without her two front legs. Her owners Trevor Byers and Elissa Smoak decided to build her a wheelchair. They
used a combination of “carbon fiber, 3D-printed parts and a model
airplane, with the hope that others would be able to utilize the same
design for their own dogs in need of a wheelchair,” according to 3ders.org.
Byers uploaded Bubbles’ wheelchair design to MakerBot’s Thingiverse for other pet owners looking for help. "Bubbles
is the reason I bought my printer in the first place and she loves the
freedom it has given her," Byers said on his Thingiverse page. As you can see from these videos of Bubbles playing with her fellow canines, the wheelchair is a hit.
