Everybody, meet Nio. 💚💥

Nio was born on November 29, 2025, and earlier this year his family received the diagnosis of Menkes disease, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to process copper. After experiencing seizures and losing the ability to feed by mouth, Nio now receives copper injections and his medications through a feeding tube. There is currently no cure for Menkes, and his family is doing everything they can to give him the best quality of life possible.

Nio has four big sisters who absolutely adore their baby brother. ❤️ This wheelchair is going to give him the support and mobility he needs to be more comfortable, more included, and able to experience more of the world around him with his family.

And today, the filament is in and the printing has officially begun on Nio’s Incredible Hulk-themed wheelchair! 💚💪

We may have two printers down, but we’re not letting that stop us. I can still use the printer that’s running to keep parts moving and show you guys what we’re working on.

We’re down, but we’re NOT out.

Nothing is going to stop us from getting these wheelchairs printed. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Nio needs a chair.

We’re going to make it for him. 💚

Follow along as we turn filament into a wheelchair for this little superhero.

💔 WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET BACK ON TRACK! ♿️

Unfortunately, both of our large printers that we use to make our Toddler Mobility Wheelchairs have broken down. We’re now facing the unexpected cost of repairing or replacing them, and it’s putting our mission on hold.

We currently have a new wheelchair to make for a child who needs it. I just ordered the filament to get started, and then our printers broke down. Talk about a setback! 💔

Our goal is to raise approximately $1,300 to help us replace one of our printers with a high-quality Bambu Lab H-series printer. Getting this printer up and running would help us get back to printing wheelchairs and putting them in the hands of the children who need them. ❤️

Every dollar brings us one step closer to getting back to work. If you can donate, we would be incredibly grateful. If you can’t donate, sharing this post helps more than you know! 🙏

❤️ EVERY DONATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

💚 Donate via Venmo:

💚 Donate via Cash App:

To everyone who has donated to Make a Wheelchair, shared our posts, or supported our mission in any way, THANK YOU! You have helped us change lives, one wheelchair at a time, and we can’t express how much that means to us.

We’re not giving up on these kids. We just need a little help getting back on our feet so we can keep moving forward! 💪♿️

Help us get back to making wheelchairs for the kids who need them! Every donation and every share brings us closer to our goal. ❤️

Yesterday was a BIG day for us at TJBIN3D❤️

Isla, from the “QC Department,” and I loaded up and delivered our 6th wheelchair to a very special little girl named Taylor! 🦽💗💜

Taylor has been waiting for her custom wheelchair, and yesterday we finally got to see her get her very own chair. We made hers in beautiful pink and purple pastel colors, and we were able to make it extra special with some awesome accessories!

A HUGE shoutout to The Freckled Frog in Chesterfield/Midlothian! 🐸❤️ They didn’t just help make Taylor’s wheelchair possible — they put up the money to cover her entire wheelchair AND all of the extra accessories that made her chair uniquely hers. That kind of generosity means the world to us and, more importantly, to Taylor and her family.

This was our 6th wheelchair delivery, and getting to be there in person to see Taylor with her new chair was something we’ll never forget. 🥹❤️

6 down. So many more to go. 🦽

Thank you to everyone who continues to support what we’re doing and helps us put these chairs into the hands of kids who need them. ❤️ taken in Farmville, Virginia by @tjbin3d

Good evening, everyone! ❤️

Sorry we haven’t posted in a while! We’ve been extremely busy behind the scenes, but we haven’t stopped making wheelchairs!

We recently purchased another 3D printing business, Printalicious — you can find Shop Printalicious on TikTok. We’re transitioning it into PrintWorks 3D Creations LLC, while also working toward turning TJB in 3D into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

So yes… we’ve been BUSY! 😂

But this is what we’ve been working on.

Meet Taylor, a sweet little girl from Chesterfield, Virginia. ❤️

Taylor was born in September 2022 and began having unexplained seizures at just 8 hours old. Over the next 36 hours, she experienced approximately 50 more seizures and spent 20 days receiving care in the NICU at St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond.

Since then, Taylor has worked incredibly hard in PT and OT toward independence. Her family says she loves Ms. Rachel, music, laughing and smiling. She’s their little CP warrior princess, and they know she’s going to do great things! 👑❤️

We are honored to be a small part of her journey.

A HUGE thank-you to The Freckled Frog in Chesterfield! They didn’t hesitate to donate the funds for Taylor’s wheelchair and then went above and beyond with additional funds to give her the complete package.

And this girl is DECKED OUT! 😂

🧺 Storage bin
🍽️ Table
🥤 Cup holder
📱 Communications tablet
🪑 Foaming TPU seat cushions
❤️ And plenty more!

Taylor has the Mercedes-Benz of wheelchairs! 😂❤️

Another HUGE thank-you to Hyperlok from Kemp Prototyping and Design for helping make this build possible!

This is why we do what we do. These aren’t just 3D-printed parts — they’re opportunities for independence, exploration, communication, and simply being a kid.

Taylor, we hope you LOVE your new ride! 👑❤️

To The Freckled Frog, Hyperlok, Kemp Prototyping and Design, and everyone who supports us — THANK YOU!

We may have been quiet, but we’ve been busy. And we’re just getting started!

Stay healthy and stay blessed! ❤️ taken in Hampden Sydney, Virginia by @tjbin3d

Today was one of those days that reminds me exactly why we do what we do. ❤️

The look on James Henry’s face when he saw his wheelchair for the first time was absolutely priceless. But seeing the look on his family’s faces when he sat down, started clapping, and then started moving himself in his new chair… there are honestly no words for it. 🥹❤️

It’s little moments like this, and little guys like James Henry, that make every single hour worth it.

All the hours spent printing.
All the miles driven.
All the gas.
All the wear and tear on our vehicles making these deliveries.

None of it compares to the joy I feel when I get to see a family’s life changed right in front of me.

James Henry and family, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you today. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of this special moment. Huge shout out to @jaxwaxculpeper they did not hesitate to donate the funds for materials for this build Chris and Nicole are two of the most giving people I’ve ever met and i pray many blessings come their way!

If you guys ever need anything and I can help, you know who to ask. I truly hope we get to stay friends for a very, very long time. ❤️

This is why we do it. 🦽❤️ taken in Farmville, Virginia by @tjbin3d

🚨 BIG SHOUT OUT! 🚨

We want to give a HUGE thank-you to Burkeville Body Shop, Hyperlok, and our very own CQ Department, Isla! ❤️

Burkeville Body Shop sponsored the funds for the materials needed to build Kaiden’s wheelchair.

Hyperlok sponsored the Hyperlok, 3D printing bed adhesive, and some much-needed printer maintenance items. We truly appreciate the support!

And then there’s Isla, our very own Quality Control Department. 😂 She makes sure every wheelchair works properly before we send it out.

Kaiden’s wheelchair is Bluey and carbon-fiber themed! 💙🐾 The wheels and his name feature a carbon-fiber pattern because Kaiden absolutely LOVES cars. 🚗

Isla tested the chair out, and we’re happy to announce:

✅ IT PASSES CQ! ✅

This week, we’re going to deliver Kaiden’s chair to him, and we cannot wait to see him rolling around in it! 🥹💙

A huge thank-you to everyone who continues to support us and helps us get these wheelchairs into the hands of kids who need them. This truly is a community effort! ❤️ taken in Farmville, Virginia by @tjbin3d

Taylor’s wheelchair is officially underway! 💜💙 Here are a few updates on the build process and some BIG shout-outs!

First and foremost, HUGE shout-out to The Freckled Frog! 🐸❤️ Thank you for supporting this build and helping make Taylor’s wheelchair possible!

🔥 HUGE shout-out to Comgrow TPU filament! I have not had ONE issue. Not one failed print. This stuff has been absolutely incredible to work with, and it is officially my go-to TPU from here on out!

Also, a massive THANK YOU to KPD and HyperLok! HyperLok is a high-temperature 3D printing bed adhesive, and it has helped us dial in our adhesion issues and keep these prints running reliably.

And of course, THANK YOU MakeGood for making all of this possible. Without MakeGood, these wheelchairs wouldn’t be happening. ❤️

🛠️ BUILD UPDATES

Taylor’s wheelchair is underway! We’re making great progress, and I’ll continue sharing updates throughout the build.

Kaiden’s wheelchair is DONE! 🎉 The only thing left is printing the two little Bluey characters. Those should be finished within the next day or two!

Hopefully, we’ll be delivering Kaiden’s and James Henry’s chairs this weekend! 🙌

And finally, a BIG HUGE shout-out to Bruce’s Collision in Dillwyn, Virginia! Bruce and Kay were able to acquire us a vehicle, and I seriously owe you guys BIG TIME.

As Bruce said, “This is what friends are for.” ❤️

That’s what having good friends is all about. Love you guys, and whatever you need, you already know who to call.

One print. One part. One chair at a time. 💙

Kaiden and James Henry — I’m working on it, guys. ❤️

I was really hoping to have y’all’s chairs delivered this weekend. Unfortunately, my family has hit a streak of bad luck… or maybe it’s a lesson, or a blessing. Who knows? Sometimes we just have to trust God and keep moving forward.

Both of our vehicles have broken down, and neither one is capable of making the drive right now.

Kaiden’s chair: Our vehicles breaking down put a little damper on printing the last few parts of Kaiden’s chair. But we are back to printing them! I have the Bluey file ready to go, and I’ve just got to get the extra multicolor system hooked up so I can print it. I also still need to print one of his wheels, a set of tires, and the bottom cushion. Those parts will be completed during the week, so his chair will be ready to go by next weekend.

James Henry’s chair: Your chair is completely finished and has already been submitted to MakeGood for approval. As I’m writing this post, it just got approved! 🎉

Now we’re just trying to figure out the vehicle situation. Unfortunately, both of our vehicles are currently broken down, and neither one is capable of making the drive.

This is not a cry for help. We’ll figure it out. But if somebody wants to help us until we can get a vehicle situation figured out, we would be forever grateful and incredibly appreciative. We accept help if it’s available, but there is absolutely no expectation.

You can’t believe in the Bible and worry at the same time. So we’re choosing faith over worry and trusting that God will make a way.

Kaiden and James Henry, I promise we’re working on it. ❤️ Your chairs are coming. Kaiden’s is back in production, James Henry’s is finished and approved, and now we just have to figure out the best way to get them delivered.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us, believe in what we’re doing, and help us make these chairs possible. 🙏❤️ taken in Hampden Sydney, Virginia by @tjbin3d

POV: You’ve been watching the printer for 3 hours and now you’re arguing with the G-code. 😂

“WHY ARE YOU GOING OVER THERE?! YOU WERE JUST RIGHT HERE!”

At this point, I’m not even supervising the print anymore. I’m questioning its decision-making. 🤦‍♂️😂

3D printing will have you talking to a machine like it can actually hear you. And somehow… you still feel like it’s ignoring you. 😂
