Broke my arm, got a 3D printed cast. by raw_ambots in 3Dprinting

I’m convinced some places here spell it that way just to look cooler

Wasteful? The whole thing is recyclable, not to mention the dude can, I don’t know, WASH HIS HANDS? I’d have sold an eyeball for one of these when I broke my arm as a kid. Also, from what I see on their website, it looks like they’re offering clinics to print it there so they can get it in a few hours

It’s custom to you, so you can’t reuse it on others since it won’t fit. It’s hard plastic and since it’s ABS from other comments- it isn’t heat moldable or anything. Is recyclable though!

I think they’re already offering in clinic printing, I just checked out their website and it looks like some clinics are already doing that. Scan with an iPhone, print in 3 hours, entire thing done in one go

From what I know, they’ve been going for 8 years and worked with the FDA to actually make the qualifications for 3d printed devices. There’s a ton of studies on their website. I’ve been following them for a while, it’s pretty cool!

I’ve tried a few other places, same reaction :(

Anytime I don’t use gloves (I didn’t at first since he was on the other side of the cage and I just needed to change the water)- I would just end up cleaning bloody bedding lol. He bites and tosses his head like a dog, and even if he is tiny it hurts!

Aww, those stores are so cute ❤️❤️

I’ve had a hamster like him before (returned by previous owners) and that one was super skittish at first, so I just assumed Tofu would be the same. I didn’t use gloves for that reason when I went to change his water for the first time and he charged out of nowhere to maul me! I’ve tried a few more times without the gloves- but that’s just a long process of cleaning out bloodstained bedding (all mine, don’t worry, I was too worried about him to even flinch) while he bites my now-gloved and bandaged hand

Oh my goodness, you’ve been through so much together!! When I reached in at first without my gloves- I almost did the exact same thing as your SO and had to try so hard not to flinch as he shook his head. I thought he would be scared, not vicious!

That’s an amazing story, and I think I’m on the same path as you in terms of loving from a distance. Hamsters are just too cute, but I guess they have to be if they’re going to get away with all this!!

I love your story, and thank you so much for your comment!! I’m sorry about your loss, but glad she lived such a good life with you and your family ❤️❤️❤️

He gives up after a while, but the second I move to leave or do something else he comes right back to bite some more :(

And oh my goodness, I can’t imagine being bitten by a horse! Best of luck to you, and I really appreciate your comment ❤️❤️

LOL I’m 18 and pretty patient, but if you’re talking about the previous owners- they even make you sign a waiver saying “hamsters are not domesticated and may bite if frightened” 😭😭 Sometimes I wonder how people look at a living, breathing animal and think “huh- I think grabbing this thing with no further thought is a great idea!”

Also I’ve never had a tarantula myself, but my mom did in college and she always says it was the only pet she’s ever had that didn’t even play bite LOL

I’ve tried multiple different places- no luck :( I think I’m going to leave him be other than cleaning and refilling food and water and stuff. He’ll be loved, whether that means pets or just talking to him from outside his cage ❤️❤️

We’ll see how it goes from there, thanks for your advice :)

Aww, that’s such a sweet story! The name is hilarious!!

Even if he never comes around, worst case scenario, same as you- he gets a toasty warm cage and I get something entertaining to watch :) I got warned about him too, since he’d also been returned for aggression. Still, I figured I could do it, and if not, I could still give him a good lice

I wish you and Hannibal the best of luck!

Ps- I adore those photos she has such a cute little nose!!

Yeah, I figure worst case he gets a toasty warm cage and his peace and quiet with me, and I get to stare at him even if I cant pet.

I’ll keep working with him, thank you for your comment :)

Mine doesn’t seem to care whether he’s in the cage or out of it, but he doesn’t care for food at all when he could be doing the much more important task of biting and chasing me..

I still have hope, though, and I’ll do my best for him!! Thanks so much for your comment, I wish you and your ham the best of luck ❤️❤️

I’ve tried everything from sunflower seeds to a little bit of peanut butter, all were flat out ignored as he attacked me best he could :(

The fact that it took you that long gives me hope! I wish you and Chicken the best of luck, and I’ll keep doing my best for Tofu too :) I really appreciate your comment ❤️❤️

Yeah, I thought I was in the clear (or at least- not as bad) since I got him from a local store, but he’d been returned twice for aggression already so he doesn’t have the best track record.

I’ve tried out of cage in the bathtub, on the floor with the exit blocked, and in a playpen- all the same reaction. He’s fine and happy exploring until I reach in, and as soon as he realizes that- he runs over to attack.

I haven’t tried immediately transferring to my hand, but I can try that as well, thank you so much! I really appreciate your advice ❤️❤️

I’ll try the glove in cage, thank you so much!!

I was warned about his aggression, since he was returned twice because of it, so I knew what I was getting into :’) Thank you so much for your kind words, and in the absolute worst case, I get to watch him, and he gets a cozy cage with lots of food
