3D Printed Kneepad in TPU 85A

3D printing has made innovation more accessible for a variety of industries. Aerospace, Automotive, Education and Manufacturing have all seen an increase in their efficiency due to the introduction of 3D printing technology into their workflow. Additive manufacturing allows for the creation of functional prototypes in-house at a lower cost than traditional manufacturing methods. These industries also benefit from better IP protection and a lower carbon footprint, as everything can be done on-location.

Enter Shop3D.ca, your dedicated Canadian resource for professional 3D Printing supplies. We help Canadian companies move into the modern era by providing everything they need to start additive manufacturing. With new parents in the office, children's safety has been on the mind. Our challenge was to prototype a new kneepad for toddlers, using 3D printing to create a series of prototypes at a low cost. Could we create a unique design that works? During the process we made many discoveries and breakthroughs which brought us to our final functioning prototype.

TPU/PLA Kneepad Iterations on Shop3D Table

V1 Kneepad, printed in Ultimaker Black PLA on the Ultimaker S5 Pro System 
Print Settings: 0.2mm layer height / 10% infill / No supports / Skirt

For the first iteration, we took measurements and modeled out a basic shape which would fit a toddler’s knee area. The design was very simple, and is a thin rectangle with a slight bend in the middle. This version also has holes to allow for Velcro to pass through. Since this was the first iteration, it was printed in Ultimaker Black PLA for us to see how well the design can be printed. We chose PLA because it is a low cost, easy to print material that works well for most projects. This piece was printed on the Ultimaker S5 Pro system, one of our staple 3D printers.

Print Settings: 0.2mm layer height / 10% infill / No supports / Skirt

V2 Kneepad, printed in Ultimaker TPU Blue 95A on the Ultimaker 2+ Connect
Print Settings: 0.1mm layer height / 10% infill / No supports / Enabled Brim

For the second iteration, we decided to widen the kneepad to fit it a little bit better, since it seemed a bit too thin. It was at about this time that we made the switch from Ultimaker PLA to TPU 95A, to test the flexibility and see how well the kneepad could function on impact. We chose TPU 95A because it's flexible, impact resistant and is able to print well with various support structures (for instance, you can use PLA!). The drawback is that TPU 95A doesn't work best for small features and frequent retraction, like in a grill or a sift. This made the TPU 95A slightly more difficult to print, but ultimately it came out well on the Ultimaker 2+ Connect when oriented on it’s side.

V3 Kneepad, printed in Ultimaker TPU Blue 95A on the Ultimaker 2+ Connect
Print Settings: 0.1mm layer height / 10% infill / No supports / Enabled Brim

After physically checking our measurements compared to the toddler’s knee, we learned that our design was a bit too thin for a proper fit. We decided to widen the design even more to account for the toddler’s bohemian growth spurts. Once again, we printed this iteration in TPU 95A  very easily on the Ultimaker 2+ Connect. TPU 95A has been tested and set up by Ultimaker and The Material Alliance, so you don't have to waste time trying different temperatures and speed settings. However it was at about this iteration that we realized the design does not account for movement very well, and we began to conceptualize a newer design which would make more sense.

V4 Kneepad, printed in BASF TPU 85A on the Raise3D E2 IDEX 3D Printer
Print Settings: 0.1mm layer height / 15% infill / No supports / Skirt

Upon further inspection, we discovered that the TPU was not as flexible as we needed for the kneepad to function correctly. For V4, we switched the material from TPU 95A to TPU 85A . The 95A and 85A in the names represent the Shore hardness of the material, meaning this material was even more flexible and suited our needs much better. Since we were working on a newer design to account for the bending of the toddler’s knee, for V4 we decided to switch to an older design, just to test the material and the best print orientation. Once again this print went very well when oriented on it’s side and was printed using the Raise3D E2 IDEX 3D Printer.

V5 Kneepad, printed in Ultimaker Black PLA on the Ultimaker S5 Pro System 
Print Settings: 0.2mm layer height / 10% infill / No supports / Skirt

For this final prototype we implemented a new design where the kneepad is broken up into 3 main portions. One above the knee, one at the knee, and one below the knee. These parts work together in unison to protect the knee while allowing it to have the maximum range of motion possible. This was our final test before we assemble the kneepad as a whole. Since it was only for testing purposes, we chose to print this iteration in Ultimaker Black PLA once again. For the final, we decided we would cut a foam piece which will sit between the TPU 85A and the child’s knee. This forms an air cushion which allows for extra protection in the event of the toddler falling onto their knees.

Final Kneepad, printed in BASF TPU 85A on the Raise3D E2 IDEX 3D Printer
Print Settings: 0.1mm layer height / 2 Walls / 15% infill / No supports / Skirt / Assembled with Foam & Velcro

At this point we were happy with the fit and form of our design. We printed the final iteration in TPU 85A once more. Due to the design, this version was much easier to print and came out very well on the Raise3D E2 IDEX 3D printer. We then used a foam piece for the backing, and used a Snapmaker 2.0 A350 to laser cut the custom shape we needed for the kneepad (with added clearance). We then threaded the Velcro through the kneepad as well as through the backing in order to bring it all together.

With Additive Manufacturing, what might be a lengthy process involving coordinating with a manufacturer and the shipping of parts is reduced to waiting for your print to finish. This hands-on process allows you to rectify designs as needed, allowing you to move to production faster and not worry about supply chain issues during the testing phase.

Overall this project was a great testing opportunity for our team, allowing us to trial the design iteration process and work toward a functioning final product. Our biggest takeaway is that iterating was so easy, we didn't put the work into properly planning. We likely could have cut down on the number of iterations if we had a better concept for the end result. That's okay, we make these mistakes so you don't have to!

Choosing proper materials and print orientation are a key part of using 3D printers to create functional prototypes. If you're wondering what will work for your project: reach out to our technical team for some recommendations.

War in Ukraine: How can 3D printing help?

We can't escape the harsh reality and, to be honest, it's almost impossible to even think about anything else right now. There is a war going on in Europe, just a few hundred kilometers from our factory. Not a “special operation”, but a full-scale, unjust war launched by Russia against its neighbor, with the deliberate defeat of civilians.

Many Ukrainians live and work here in Prague (including several colleagues in our company), every Czech citizen probably has at least one friend from Ukraine, and I am no exception. We don't think twice when it comes to help - it's personal. Among other things, our company has buildings that are used for recreation. Now these buildings are used exclusively by refugees. At the moment we have accommodated about 60 people. In addition to housing, we help with paperwork, finding work, schools and clubs for children - everything you need for a normal life, as much as possible in the current conditions.

Of course, since day one I've been thinking what we can do as members of the 3D community. We have put together a few ideas which are described below. However, before we begin, there is one important thing to say. These projects are made for people who are already in Ukraine or who can deliver printed items to reliable hands - now it's not so easy. We can't arrange parts collection and shipping ourselves.

Honestly, for the vast majority of us, The most effective way to help Ukraine is to simply send a donation to . There are already a large number of non-profit organizations and if you are not sure which one to choose, it is best to contact the Ukrainian embassy in your country (or look at their website for information). They either already have their own fundraising account or they can recommend the right fund for you. Thanks for understanding!

So, without further ado, let's see what projects we've been able to put together so far.

Medical equipment

As with face masks, we want to focus on simple and effective parts that can be easily and cheaply produced in large quantities. These are the projects that will benefit the most.

The first project we would like to introduce is a tourniquet that allows you to quickly stop the bleeding of the limbs, mainly caused by bullet wounds. Be sure to check out the article and the instructions on GitHub listed in the model description. Although this device is not yet certified, it has been widely used in the field in the Gaza Strip since 2018. Please note that the harness parts (clamp and corkscrew handle) must withstand a serious mechanical load. PLA is too brittle for this and broken parts can be very dangerous. For this project, the use of strong materials is imperative. Nylon or polycarbonate is ideal, although PETG should do just fine.

While other harness options are in development (and reportedly even being used in Ukraine), until we get more feedback, we will continue to recommend something tried and tested, respecting the opinion of the author of the project.

Another project that is already in widespread use is a shoulder brace (splint) developed by Make 3D Company Ltd., run by Silvestr Tkáč, a Czech entrepreneur based in The Gambia. In this country, the shoulder brace became the first printed medical device to pass medical certification.

As with most dentures, it is important that the brace can be easily adapted to the individual size and shape of the . In this case, 9The 0007 model is printed flat and then folded into the desired shape using a heat gun, hair dryer, or just hot water. Unlike tourniquets, PLA can be used with for this project due to the wider temperature range at which the material is bendable enough but not yet hot enough to burn the patient.

Inspired by this project, we have prepared a series of similar temporary bandages for various bones and joints . At the moment there are already 7 of them and we continue to develop more.

Be sure to read the instructions in the description for each model. They are available in Ukrainian and Russian.

Of course, we are well aware that any non-certified or even untested medical equipment can be dangerous and do more harm than good. Since we have already gained experience during the COVID-19 crisis, before recommending any device, we first of all test it with experienced medical professionals. We strongly recommend that you do the same before publishing medical device designs on PrusaPrinters. Throughout the development process, which took about 3 weeks, we consulted with MD Doc. MUDr. Milan Krticka, Ph.D and MD MUDr. Martin Chovanec from the Clinic for Surgery and Traumatology in Brno, Czech Republic.

Hand Splint (splint)

Hand Splint (splint) – light version

Pinky/thumb brace (splint)

Palm brace (splint) 9002 Long 9002 finger brace (splint)

Please be aware that all of the above models were made with good intentions and in accordance with the feedback we received, everything can (and most likely will) be changed, updated and improved over time .

Non-medical models

As you noted above, we have decided to focus mainly on medical and humanitarian items and not publish military items, given the high risk of abuse and misinterpretation by some media.

Of course, there are many print projects that can be used for peaceful and not so peaceful purposes, such as parts for quadcopters. As another example, we chose a periscope, which can at least partially increase the safety of civilians in a war zone (for example, you can look around the corner from the window and make sure you are safe before you go). Other than the 3D printed parts, all you need is a tube, a couple of mirrors and rubber bands.

There is also a model of knee pads that will come in handy when hiding from fire or moving through the wreckage. Let me reiterate the ground rules already mentioned in the links above: the more the merrier - print (and collect!) as much as you can, but don't ship broken, defective, or unfinished parts, and if possible, don't use the bright colors of ( repaint parts if necessary).

Support for creators in Ukraine

The 3D printing community in Ukraine, although not entirely located in the war zone, is still suffering from power outages and a lack of material and reliable printers. Before the start of the war, we shipped about 100 original Prusa printers to Ukraine. However, only some of them are now available where they are needed most.

We have already partnered with several companies and volunteer groups and are trying to donate as much detail and material as possible, but as we said, the choice of reliable delivery methods to Ukraine is now extremely limited . So far, we have managed to transport 15 printers and about 300 kilograms of printed material. For obvious reasons, we cannot disclose the identity and location of the recipients, or the specific purpose of the printers.

However, if you are in Ukraine and want to coordinate further possible assistance, please contact us!

By the way, the desktop print book for Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ has already been translated into Ukrainian.

The President is here!

And last but not least important news. To lighten the mood a little, we prepared a bust of the cool President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, on the pedestal of which his famous phrase “the president is here” is indicated.

Although he had the opportunity to quickly and easily hide abroad, Volodymyr Zelensky decided to stand his ground and lead the country directly from its capital, Kyiv. I think he serves as an example not only to people in Ukraine, but also to people around the world.

That's all for today, but we'll be sure to publish a follow-up article as soon as we have something to share. More than ever, we need your ideas and suggestions, especially for medical and humanitarian equipment. Together we can save lives.

Glory to Ukraine!

Weekly "Arguments and Facts" No. 47. Arguments and Facts - St. Petersburg 24/11/2021

The endoprosthesis is able to replace the affected areas of the femur. Northwest Technology Transfer Center

In St. Petersburg, scientists, together with practicing surgeons, have developed a unique endoprosthesis to replace part of the femur and knee joint. The product is made taking into account the anatomical features of the patient from a biocompatible material, has high strength and - importantly - durability.

Someone else's as one's own

The new endoprosthesis is an all-metal non-separable implant, which is used to replace the affected areas of the femur and knee joint. It has increased strength and durability due to the presence of a minimum number of connecting elements in it.

The concept of the product was created by the staff of the St. Petersburg NMITs TO them. R. R. Vreden and finalized at the CML AT Medical engineering center.

Engineers optimized the shape of the endoprosthesis, determined the places of use and the volume of cellular structures in the implant (they contribute to better osseointegration of the product in the patient's tissue), achieved a halving of the cost of production, while maintaining the characteristics.

“The product was modeled based on the patient's computed tomography images. This made it possible to design the prosthesis taking into account the anatomical features of the patient. The implant was manufactured using 3D printing from a biocompatible titanium alloy,” explains Yana Chekryzhova, , head of the CML AT Medical engineering center, .

The endoprosthesis is “printed” not in St. Petersburg, but in Moscow, at a contract 3D printing factory. Such a model, according to the company, allows for a more rational distribution of the financial and labor resources of the team.

The prosthesis proved itself

The first operation using this development was carried out in the fall of 2020. The patient needed to replace a large defect in the femur.

“The use of the implant ensured the achievement of reliable fixation of the standard design of the articulating knee endoprosthesis. This allowed the patient to recover quickly, without changes in the standard rehabilitation program, ”comments Professor of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Head of Department No. R. R. Vreden Nikolai Kornilov .

Further, in the postoperative period, after three and six months, doctors conducted control studies that showed the success of the connection of the implant with the patient's bone. As a result, motor functions and the length of the operated limb were restored. It is now known that the patient has no complaints about the state of health and the product itself. The implant proved to be the best in terms of survival and operation.

NMITs TO them. R. R. Vredena has already performed more than 35 surgeries using customized printed implants. The only thing that is required for each new operation is to adapt the product to the patient, taking into account his anatomical features.

“At first glance it may seem strange, but we hope for a high probability of the emergence of new domestic players in the market for individual implants. Our example shows that Russian developments are not inferior to foreign ones in terms of price-quality ratio, and even surpass them in the speed of order fulfillment,” says Yana Chekryzhova. “The more domestic players there are on the medical devices market, the more patients will benefit – personalized prostheses will become more familiar and affordable, and their choice will become more diverse.”

However, the developers are sure that even with a similar overall concept, all products will still differ from each other. It is these differences that will determine the winner in the upcoming competition.
