A Bolivian boy, who stumbled upon technology, broke a toy car with a mixture of curiosity, passion and hard work, successfully built his own robot hand with a 3D printer.
\"I threw a stone and broke the car\" and saw all the pieces, 14-year-
Old Leonardo viscala told EFE that he added that he was 8 years old when the incident revealed the assembly technology to him.
In the mother\'s womb, the right hand was stuck in the placenta and could not develop.
He was diagnosed with sheep belt syndrome.
The thermoplastic hand he wore today worked with the nylon rope, which picked up the movements of the wrist and passed them on to the fingers, which he admitted could not be fully closed.
It\'s not perfect, but with it he can \"hold the glass or bottle \". . .
I can\'t take all kinds of things before.
\"He made a very weak hand first, a kind of pliers that at least allowed him to catch something.
Later, he made a more mechanized version, but it didn\'t fit him at all.
Viscarra said that he did some research and learned about a French boy who was the first person to have this prosthetic limb and then found an American foundation to make it.
With the help of an aunt who lives in the United States, viscala contacted the company, and although it was too big, they sent him a first robot hand.
He did not give up.
He was inspired by \"making another prosthesis.
\"This time, he put it together according to his exact size.
When he designed it, he went to the sawmill robotics institute in Cochabamba, Bolivia, where they helped him achieve that goal.
They actually printed the whole newbie with a 3D printer, and with the help of teachers and parents, Viscarra assembled all the parts and assembled them together with nylon lines and ropes.
Viscarra got his robot hand for less than $ US100 ($A130)
He said the price of bionic artificial limbs on the market could be $15.
