Self-Feeder for High Level Paralysis

This is a device created by rehabilitation engineer Jared Grier and occupational therapist Tori Le. It is a low-cost alternative to commercial self-feeding devices. This feeder was designed to be used with hard food like candy, chips, and other snacks.

A build guide is included in the files section that includes a bill of materials and sources for purchasing the non-printed components.

Supports are needed on the food pusher and mouth trough. The 3mf file has support enforcers added to the areas needed on both pieces.
