My name is Prasad because of Muscular dystrophy I use battery operated wheelchair ottobock B 500. Muscular dystrophy id degenerative muscle disorder and have lost my ability to drink and eat by myself .
I was looking for glass holder for my wheelchair I could not find glass holder which suited me my friends using wheelchair were also looking for something which could be a hands free drinking solution
My mentor gave me a 3D printer and told me to try this technology . At first I was thinking what's the big deal in 3D printing why people are saying it's the technology of future? but when I started seeing objects printing whole lot of Ideas started pouring up in my mind and I thought of making glass holder using it.
My design ideas were.
1.)The glass holder should be able to hold different types of glasses and tins around diameter of 75 centimetres
2.) It should be in front so that the person can view what he is drinking.
3.) There should be no tools required to install the glass holder.
4.) When not in use the glass holder can be easily removed.
5.) Other attachments like mobile holder could be easily added . Position of mobile holder should be ideal for Google Voice commands, speakerphone, clicking pictures through voice commands.
6.) The glass holder should be compact and easily disassembled during travel .
