We learned of a clever hack to protect 3D printers from… hackers, celebrated a breakthrough in 3D bioprinting, watched the marines add additive to their kits, and saw a Switch controller go one-handed, all this week in 3D printing.<\/p>\n
The Nintendo Switch has inspired tons of clever 3D printed mods<\/a>, mostly focused on making the Joy-Con controller easier to use. But, if so many gamers feel the need to accessorize the Joy-Con for accessibility, what about those with disabilities? Josh Zirl of the AbleGamers Foundation<\/a>, which helps gamers with disabilities access game play, wrote<\/a>, “it is disappointing to say the least to see Nintendo ignoring accessibility so completely.” Luckily,\u00a0engineer Julio Vazquez has created two adapter designs<\/a> that allow for one-handed game play. As The Verge reported<\/a>, Vazquez\u00a0developed the designs after a good friend lost the use of one of his hands \u2014 and with it, his ability to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.<\/em> Now, we just need to 3D print this guy a medal for being such a solid friend.<\/p>\n
