Why is he the coolest dad?
Paul McCarthy is the father of a differently abled son, Leon, who was born without fingers on one of his hands. About three years ago, Paul started to research an inexpensive, yet functional, prosthetic hand. That was when he came across a video online with detailed instructions on how to use a 3D printer specifically to create prosthetic hands. He then decided to create a custom- made hand that would eventually help his son carry out tasks requiring minimal effort. Not only did he create a customised hand for his son but he also managed to cut costs. According to Viralnova, a normal prosthesis would have cost him more than $ 30,000 but the 3D printed hand cost him less than $ 10.
