Release the files and let us print! Then tell me what size you want and where to send it.....
That is exactly what eNABLE does.
All files are 100% free and posted for anyone that wants to help.

We have over 2000 volunteers that do exactly that, size them, print them and donate them to children free of charge.

If you would like to help, please visit http://enablingthefuture.org/ and feel free to join the cause.

As for your "worldwide event" idea, Just today the first ever enable conference was held at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore MD, with over 400 attendees and a massive, worldwide effort that printed over 230 hands in just 2 weeks time to be donated.


Hope to see you in the group.
