Su il ripiano, su il morale!

Su il Ripiano, Su il Morale! is an open-source project licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. We are a team of engineering students from Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy) working with a 9-year-old girl affected by spastic quadriplegia, a subset of spastic cerebral palsy that affects all four limbs. The project is a collaboration between the Hackability association and the Hackability@PoliTo team. Our goal is to co-design tools with disabled people to improve their everyday life and foster their participation in active society. We can find 3D printed parts from our project here. More information and full details on the project page are available here: https://hackaday.io/project/25210-su-il-ripiano-su-il-morale. The team consists of: Matteo Monsello Lorenzo Galleani Alessandro Meneghini Eugenia Crisafulli Giacomo Petraglia Giovanni Malacarne Marcella Toma Joystick Mod: We found that Anita had a lot of trouble trying to use her electric wheelchair's joystick. We designed a new one to enable more freedom and better mobility. It is printed in PLA and flexible filament for better grip and suction-mounting on the existing joystick. To assemble, simply join the three parts together with some glue. Note: if the adapter is too tight to enter into the base, make a hole with a needle in the base of the adapter to let the air escape. Glifo Mod: A remix of the GLIFO helps Anita draw. We redesigned it to make it stronger and fit perfectly in her hands. Press a 4 mm nut into place with a soldering iron. Glue the Pen_Holder and Outer_Ring together, then glue a 4 mm bolt to the Flower_Handle. Insert the Inner_Ring into the Outer_Ring. Ninja Pillow: To keep Anita in a correct and more comfortable position, we designed two NinjaPillows that fit on the elbow holders. They are printed with flexible filament and 3D infill for a soft feeling. Many thanks to Giuseppe Terruso for helping out with the design. Print one for each side. Instructions on how to mount them can be found here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Su-Il-Ripiano-Su-Il-Morale/.
