Storms a 15 byear old athlete who’s working his ay through Leukemia. this new version of the protector is bigger, has more ventilation and is much lighter.It also has a flat flange for a silicone cushion. Jake printed it out of carbon fiber reinforces PLA using the Prusa printer he has at home. Our one at generator was out of service for a bit

How did this turn out? Here I sit in Children’s Mercy hospital with my 14 year old. He has a port on his right side and I was looking for protection for it. He does all the sports. Baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, etc.
6-6-23, years later 🙂
I’m curious if this worked out? I have a son who plays college baseball had just finished his freshman season and was diagnosed with cancer.
He had to miss last year as he goes through treatments. As he fights his way back, getting on the diamonds is his goal and needs to protect his port.
Not many options out there. How can we get our hands on one?
