How 3D Printing Changed This Dog's Life! 

Whenever they talk about their work, you can see how passionate they are. Absolutely love this, glad that such people exist.

As a biomedical engineer working primarily in 3D printing prostheses research, this was awesome to see. Being on the advanced side of research, their technology is not exactly cutting edge BUT I can immediately tell that their execution is awesome! The attention to details in the small areas, the lattice distribution, the design of the foot, the print quality ... All very very good. Amazing work by them and I hope I get to work on something similar as I advance in my career

It is videos like these that separate Marques from any other tech youtuber on the platform. Good job man. You are the best!

3D Printing is excellent for custom parts. Wonderful example 😌

Thanks for coming Marques + Team! We had a blast and appreciate the support. Seeya soon!

I hope more animals get something like this ❤

I am a veterinarian and I must say I am incredibly impressed. This has the ability to make a difference in so many animals lives!

Potentially one of the most wholesome videos on the internet! We are blessed to live in a day and age where technology can be incorporated into healthcare for both humans and our beloved pets. Love it Marques. 😁

Influencers, Take note 📝This is real brand promotion done right! 👌🏼 No paid ad vibes here. 🙅‍♂Whether they funded this vid or not, it feels totally genuine. That's the kind of content that sparks curiosity and gets us talking about a company. Unlike those fake Instagram ads where everything's just "amazing" 😑.

So you inspired Apple to do a commercial about disabled dogs and 3d printing?

I have a dog that uses a wheelchair and this video just warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing this, Marques! ♥️🐶

As a dog owner, this video got me emotional. Thank you for bringing awareness to this

Never gonna complain about more dog content from you but this is honestly next level. Would love to see more deep dives into how tech is improving lives of people!

As someone with two prosthetic legs below the knee, this one really warmed my heart. My prosthetics aren't 3D printed (yet! From my understanding, there's stuff in the works), but the pylon and attachment mechanism is exactly what I have. This video made me smile :)

I saw the thumbnail and I immediately recognized the vests! I worked on the prototype ones for these with Dive design and cosine additive back at my first stem job! The TPU for the vests would collapse earlier on before we figured out the support settings since it’s a flexible filament. I LOVE seeing this in the wild years later, such an insane feeling and I love that they managed to keep doing this after our team finished our part. I actually printed that pink one with the chihuahua looking little guy in the picture!

It's always cool to see people in cutting edge fields solving common problems.

I’m sitting here, tears in my eyes after watching a tech video. Marques, you are truly built different. Big shoutout to 3DPets, doing huge work with a passion.

apple and marques just uploaded the same video on the same topic at the same time.

No way it’s a coincidence Apple drops a “Shot on iPhone” ad about this exact company using the iPhone’s LiDAR sensor to build prosthetics for dogs around the same time Marques’ video comes out. If Apple or the company reached out to you to make this video, I hope you’d be transparent about it.

Watching Cleo run with her prosthesis made me tear up. It's so heartening to know that there are people out there make lives of these animals so much better.

I used to work for an R&D company in 3D printing and when we talked to a vet clinic for a potential collaboration for this exact kind of pet prosthetics, they told us that the dogs generally don't care if they lose 1 limb, they are perfectly happy with 3 legs. They also told us that most dogs do not accept a prosthetic limb. I'm glad to see that some dogs can live better lives because of 3D printing!

I didn't want this video to end. We need a follow up video on how Cleo is doing with this new leg

It's beautiful. 3D printing has so much potential and those guys are really bringing them out. Even as I'm sitting in my room right now, so many people are working hard to find creative ways to apply science so they can increase the quality of life for many.

God bless MKBHD. God bless Cleo. God bless that 3D Printing shop.

Marques really seems like a nice guy just to have a decent conversation with. This is not new news but still, it's still good to see over again.

I love that this is getting the exposure it deserves. I've started 3D Printing things for our foster dogs to help catch people's attention when we are out walking. It is amazing how useful custom 3d prints can be!

4:45 is a bit of bogus, the software theyre using is Cura, youre really not fine tuning each layer, the software just slaps something together quick & usually in a not all that well thought out of a way.

Giving visibility to this technology is one of the most wholesome powermoves you can do, you are an amazing human being Marques.

1:09 the guy tries to shake the dogs paw lol

"Cleo is a cool dog, you wouldn't even notice she hasn't got one limb missing, so if you want people's compliment, you gotta make her uncomfortable again"

I'm actually part of a nonprofit student organization at the University of Florida (called GRiP), that makes prosthetics like this for child-amputees. Seeing their reactions to getting a custom prosthetic for free is always great! I was asked to make one for a dog through them, but they ended up giving the project to a different team leader.

I really have no words to say other than how immensely amazing everyone is for helping all the pups. And to you for shedding light on a small company so that it may grow, and others will get involved and help.

I had a Dacshound in 2001 that needed a wheelchair. Her rear legs both were paralized and a custom chair cost me $1k back in 2001. Glad there are places like 3D pets making these much more accessible for everyone.

I love to see how people are working towards the betterment of animals so that they lead a normal life. It's really hard these days to find such enthusiastic guys working with such dedication.

This is amazing. Thanks for putting a lens on something many may not have thought to be possible. Hope Cleo’s quality of life improves tenfold. ❤

What a lovely implimentation of 3D printing! So cool how easy it is for them to make new updated versions of the harnesses and feet with experience too

Great act by MKBHD. Making a heartwarming video and still being able to center it around tech!

Apple and MKBHD both collaborated for a video is proof my internet bills are paying off.

Our two dogs mean more to me than anything in life, I couldn’t imagine life without them. Their mobility is a gift and a joy to watch, and as a young man who had a hip replacement, it’s beautiful to watch how these animals are getting a level care and the ability to be as freely mobile as this is astounding. They don’t feel self conscious or wonder about perception, they just want to be happy, love, and be loved. Wow, I hope a greater awareness is made of this and the obvious question arises…can certain mould types (it’s 3D structure) be openly available (open source it) or are they tying to patent this?

5:33 "I couldn't find a reason to care" - wow... MB.... really disappointing it took till now for you to see the vision of 3d print.

Dogs and MKBHD, 2 of my favourite things in one video

Its so great to see an animals life change like that

This is so heartwarming 😊 Great to see 3D printing go to cost 👍 More animals deserve something like this 🙌

So good to see RU-vidrs like Marques branch out tech into daily life. Love it.

It’s ironic that Apple themselves also posted a video with 3DPets on the same day as this video.

One of the most important topics you've covered. Thank you for shining light on this incredible use of 3D printing tech and alerting so many pet owners about it

For that price point, i would not think twice about buying a prosthetic for my pet! Im so glad to see things like this! ❤️

This is awesome! Thanks to 3DPets for helping all these animals that deserve better quality life! 👏🏽👏🏽

5:38 weapon manufacturers, autoparts manufacturers, and many other industries rely on 3D printing. There are 3D printing companies that prints prototypes of all kinds of products for the manufacturers.

He should do more shows like this, reminiscent of Tom Scott and revolving around tech developments.

Apple’s companion video to this nearly made me cry. As a dog lover it’s truly touching.

No way Apple and Marques have just uploaded a video on the exact same topic?!?! How’s that even possible?🤯🤯🤯

Marques and apple uploading the time about dogs with missing leg 😂

You are an incredible human being, honestly man. I've been watching you 9 years now and you always level up everything about you and your audience. So thank you man really you are a joy to watch 👏👏👏

what an insane video, thanks for that discovery!!

first one! thanks

At 7:30 there's the long awaited apple printer! Also, great project- love to see these pets be happy with their gained mobility!

0:25 "hanging out with Cleo..." Cleo Abrams: : D

Love seeing something like this shown to a larger audience. At this point, a large portion of my interaction online has been with people in the 3D printing community and while I don't sell prints or similar, just an extensive hobby for me, I do have a portion of my home setup _for_ 3D printing. So the rest of this will be "oh yea, yep" for those who 3D print but hopefully useful info for those who have yet to get into it (join us... we already have printers that make chocolates and such) I love that Marques shows local stuff as it's real easy to have some boutique shop on San Francisco. that would be in half a dozen tech sites... have some VC funding or something, and then it's like... "yea, but this is $100k to get some carbon-fiber and space-grade alloy brace that will need to be replaced in a month... so only, like, movie stars use it... but it looks cool for the web article and video". Meanwhile, basically what they showed is stuff many in 3D printing community are very familiar with. Only odd-ball thing, Marques said that the company reached out to them... I wonder if they were doing a marketing push. I'm in the NYC area, not far from his studio and presumably 3D Pet. The day this dropped, a bunch of the 3D printing community reposted and and were thrilled to see it. Then I went to work... on my way, I saw some tech article about 3D printing pet prosthetics and featured a dog... Cleo. After work, as I walked around Times Square (only tourists and those forced to actually go to Times Square), I looked up and there was a billboard from Apple talking about "Pet Prosthetics using the 3D scanner on the iPhone" and it featured... Cleo. I had a moment of "are ads following me?" but opted for "this is a marketing campaign by... someone. Maybe Apple? Onto the tech, while the Anker Make M5 was mentioned, the printers shown in the b-roll were Elegoo Neptunes (I'm not keen enough to pinpoint which one, but the braces make me think Neptune 3 Max). The custom printer looks cool (and probably was made for the elephant print that was mentioned). I also saw a Snapmaker J1/J1s in one shot. There was also a resin printer (yellow cover, so probably Elegoo) I saw a cardboard spool, which is common, but the lack of impressions on the side makes me think it's a Proto-Pasta spool (it's the only one that I know that doesn't have holes in the side). I also saw at least one spool of Sain Smart filament (though I think they're a white label and don't actually make their filament). Though it looks like they are using a variety of filaments, possibly based on colors. The transparent colors and general nature of what they're doing probably means they're printing PETG (PET = soda bottle, add glycol, the G, and it makes it easier to print). The foot shown off later is 3D printed, probably some level of TPU... I'm really bad at judging shore hardness by look alone. Cura is a pretty normal slicer (turn a 3D model into layers that can be printed out by the printer) and glad to see they used gyroid infill (the best infill. Infill... the internal... filling... of the 3D print), as it can withstand stressed on all sides, unlike some other infills which are only good from one dimension... like how a soda can can support your weight until you poke the side and it collapses. I like that they're using (or intending to use) the support material in other parts so it doesn't go to waste (one of the things that hasn't been solved on the consumer side yet). This kind of process is a great demonstration, but also has been something that is becoming more and more common. The Cosplay community uses this a ton (scan a person, a head, an arm, etc. bring it into some cad program, take some costume and adjust it to their dimensions... then print the parts and post/process and paint). During covid, lots of 3D printing was being done for face shields (yes, people showed off 3D printed face masks and respirators, but those are a very different beast and even dangerous... so we tried to stay away). With the war going on, 3D printed splints and basic casts were being sent around. Joel Telling (3D Printing Nerd) has shown off 3D printed casts that can be created with a basic scan with a phone app. And e-NABLE for distributed prosthetic creation. 3D printing is seen as a toy by many, but the coffee machines used by Dunkin have 3D printed parts. Rocket companies are 3D printing parts, tools, and in some cases engines and entire bodies of rockets with 3D printing. Auto manufacturers and the aviation industry are using it more and more. General manufacturing is using it to a high degree on their manufacturing lines. I saw a case recently where an inspection camera to check product quality was mounted with a 3D printed monitor arm... yes, you can 3D print for $10-$20 or so (if you do it. If you hire someone, it will cost more), the $50+ monitor arm that is being sold on Amazon. More schools are getting them. Many libraries have them. Dentists use 3D printing a lot... in fact, "dental grade resin" for a resin 3D printer (different from the kinds Marques showed) probably predate the consumer resins we use. Search for a local community or group, they'd be more then happy to show you the ropes. Localized manufacturing is growing, and even if not for business, you can replace handles and fix hinges and similar if you have one. And may even be faster and cheaper then buying from Amazon.

What a WHOLESOME video! Getting teary looking at these beautiful dogs feel whole again. Thanks for making this video Marques. Thank you 3DPets!

this was so heartwarming, the world needs more stories like these

The way technology, like 3D printing, is making a positive impact on the lives of animals is just heartwarming. Good job to 3D Pets for their innovative approach and dedication. It's incredible to see the process from scanning to designing to printing, and how each step is tailored to the individual needs of the pets

It’s so cool to see content about prosthetics on this channel. I am an orthotist and prosthetist. I have pretty much converted all of my impression taking techniques over to 3D scanning. It’s amazing to see how far the technology has come in the last 13 years. I’m so thankful to work with it every day. The animals and humans that I have worked with have also noticed a difference in the end product, turn around time, and how long we are able to now keep a digital file of the mold. In the past the plaster molds could be kept for several years but take up a ton of space and tend to grow mold.

I am so glad that I saved this to watch eventually. Now that I've FINALLY watched it, it's a really cool idea that has come to exist! Thank you for sharing.

This absolutely warms the heart. Thank you for this video.

How amazing is this !!! That’s why I LOVE technology ❤️

You can literally see those tiny little remaining of his missing leg trying to move and reach that 3D printed leg. That’s really wholesome video. All pets like him deserve help! Thanks Marques!

Wait, they built one for a goat 🐐???

My Grandmothers friend's son is actually the owner of this company and I got to tour his office a week ago and I saw how the prosthetics where made its pretty cool.

This is really awesome! I did a 3D printing project in Grad School, but this shows how the tech can have real world use cases. Awesome video!

I see all your videos and podcasts always looking for new tech to suit needs that I never thought I had. Today you feel my heart with joy. Thank you Marques for sharing this awesome company and guide us through the process. It’s more than tech. It’s life changing.

It was refreshing to watch Marques in the backseat on this one. He's clearly a good listener and also a quick learner!

Probably the best and most heart touching video in your channel Marques. Kudos to you, the whole team and More Love to Cleo ❤

THANK YOU for covering this amazing use of 3d printing!

That is so brilliant! Bought tears to my eyes to see how much this must improve the lives of these animals. Thanks for sharing.

This is actually how the tech should be used 💚

I think the fact this can be done effectively with a smartphone shows that anyone could theoretically send a scan of their pet, and get a prosthesis made. As someone who only used the LiDAR scanner on my iPhone for making novelty 3D models of my stuff, this seems like a really cool application!

Please do not use the word "sick" to mean something good, it's confusing. "Sick's" true meaning is something bad, not good. Avoid silly slang meanings of words, to be clear in your communications.

Thank you for another entertaining and encouraging episode. I've learned a lot your quality information! You are just the Best. I'll miss you. BUT.... I'm leaving RU-vid because Shorts now litter my feed with S***. I can't opt out of them. I've been a premium subscriber for years and will miss some content. But NOT Shorts! They are like a time sucking Drug sprinkled on interesting information. I'm not immune to the pull so I have to unplug.

Great video but for anyone that has a background in 3D printing, the scene, and description at 5:00 is total fluff. The "lattice" as he calls it is just infill and it does not change to allow for flex. It simply fills in the space as a percentage of the total volume. Any flexibility in the design is a result of the thickness of the overall designed part. The areas he is talking about being flexible for the dog's body changes is just a section of the design that is narrower than the rest. The "special software" he is showing is just a skinned version of Cura (a free and somewhat rudimentary slicing software that has been around for well over a decade and is free to the public). I don't type this to be a jerk, but it seems like every time a company bases its production around additive, 3D printing, they like to make it sound difficult or futuristic when in reality it is very approachable to the average person. This mindset of gatekeeping and self-exaggeration only hurts the adoption of 3D printing as a viable manufacturing process that has become affordable and accessible to the average person in recent years (a printer, supplies, and needed software to get started is as cheap as $300).

I remember seeing a video years ago about a boy who gets a prosthetic arm and the company uses 3D printers and I knew that was going to be a big industry with engineers and CAD experts. I almost cried seeing all the happy pups being able to move more comfortably and seeing them look exhausted from playing is just so heart warming. Thank you for showing this

This brought tears to my eyes, its always great to see products that solve essential challenges

Amazing content as usual!!

Marques: So this is Cleo, and as you can probably immediately tell, Cleo is... Me: missing a leg :( Marques: An awesome dog ;) Me: ... well, yes. That too

Anything... Anything at all we can do for our pups, we do. Without question of cost or time. That's how much they mean to us. Great video, Marques!

The best thing about all of this is that the more prostheses of this type are made, the more experience they will have and the more effective and ergonomic those prostheses will be. Amazing job! 👍🏾❤️

This is brilliant! I love dogs and love to see how this can help so much! Thank you for bringing this company on your channel, I love it and shared with all my animal-loving friends.

That’s weird. This is the second consecutive tech video about 3D Pets. A few minutes before this Apple, the official channel, uploaded a Shot on iPhone ad that features 3D Pets. Are they doing an IPO or something?

could apple be about to meltdown ? In July the EU passed legislation on right to repair laptops phones and all electrical appliances which means from 2027 many apple products could not be sold in Europe anymore. Apple is a lobbyist to defend their business model of right not to repair. however this month the CEO of apple has done a complete 180 degree turn and has written to congress to support right to repair..at least on Apple terms! Essentially apples tech line up will need to change very quickly in design terms of repair ability and update-ability. expect a migration of designs to fully comply with legislation from Europe from January 2024. if you want a repairable apple product you might consider holding off buying, until their new ranges hit the streets. apple warehouse stock could be on discount soon before the new range hits the stores.

This was actually heart-warming. I was waiting to hear some exorbitant figures, but given all of the tech that goes into making these, the prices sound rather fair.

Have a nice day everyone!❤

So heartwarming ❤️

Not to be critical, but I believe this actually slows them down,kind of taking their freedom away from them to run swiftly. He was running perfectly fine before now he can't move that swiftly Even after getting used to it, that prosthetic has no flexibility. I'm sure it has some weight that's going to slow the dog down. Just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong, but I really hopefully this can actually help them.

Same thing is happening to humans. It's insane when you consider how ridiculously low tech the solutions were (and super expensive) before 3D printing became more "accessible" world wide.

So happy to see Cleo living the good life now and her disability is not slowing her down one bit. This is game-changing tech to improve the lives of so many pets!

this bought tears in my eyes.. thank you so much for bringing this company into light marques! it's things like these which put you in a different league compared to other influencers

This is awesome! I’d love to chat with you more about 3D printing. It’s actually already in so many real-world applications such as this. And even in larger scale manufacturing like the adidas 4DFWD shoe and the Specialized bike saddles. Right now, you can go get a bike fit and have a saddle printed for your specific body geometry pretty much the same day.

I really like it, because it isn't something like: Look! A new mobile with a slightly better camera an a sharper screen or stuff, it is tech that really helps. And the fact that even Apple uploaded a spot nearly at the same time, is quite funny and may Marques and Apple work together in some form is ok because it helps the right ones. I also like the Apple spot quite good because it isn't a typical "everything is fine and the hole world is peace" Apple spot, it really has character and I would love to see more like that from Apple. Thanks for that and thanks for helping the ones who can not ask for help.

I just saw Apple's version of this and didn't want to. was hoping MKBHD would upload on the same topic

I love the way you introduced and talked about Cleo in the beginning of the video. You made it very clear that she's a complete, whole dog who happens to be missing a leg and not just a 3-legged dog. That she's more than what she's missing.
