A pediatric wheelchair costs $1,000 to $30,000. We build one for about $200.
Run by medical students working as MakeGood ambassadors, EcoPrint prints toddler mobility trainers and gives them to families for free. Choose an amount below and watch the build meter fill.
Toddlerhood doesn't wait for a claims department.
The window when independent movement shapes how a child learns, plays, and connects is short. A chair that shows up a year late shows up to a different kid.
Insurance says no
Early mobility devices run into the thousands and get denied constantly. Families are told to wait until their child is old enough for a "real" wheelchair. That's years of sitting still.
The list keeps growing
More families join the volunteer build network each month than makers can build for. The average wait runs around 70 days and keeps stretching. Every funded build takes one family off it.
Every build is one kid's
We size each trainer to the child and add what the family actually asked for — a cup holder, a tray, extra head support, a push handle for a tired parent. Nothing here is off a shelf.
Pick a number. Fill the meter.
The printed frame, the seat, and the backrest for one child.
Two piles. That's the whole budget.
We're a volunteer team of medical students doing this work as MakeGood ambassadors. Nobody here draws a salary, so every dollar lands in one of these two places.
The physical device
Getting it to the door
The honest version: not every dollar becomes plastic, and any nonprofit that tells you otherwise is hiding a line item. What we can tell you is that no dollar here becomes a paycheck. The only things standing between the filament and the family are gas money and printer parts.
Two kids so far. Two more on the plate.
Every one of these started as a spool on a shelf and somebody deciding to cover it.
Our first trainer, and the reason the rest of this exists.

On the plate now. Funded builds are what set the delivery date.

EcoPrint is a medical-student-run, volunteer not-for-profit doing this work through our role as MakeGood ambassadors. We are not a registered 501(c)(3), so gifts are not tax deductible. Gifts fund materials, printer maintenance, and delivery — never salaries. Devices are mobility trainers built for supervised play, not certified medical equipment; ask your PT or OT how one fits your child's plan.
