ISO someone to 3D print a pair of glasses for my visually impaired daughter. My daughter has a visual impairment called Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis with extreme photophobia which causes her to be very light sensitive. She currently wears glasses with dark red tinted lenses; however when she is outdoors light seeps in on the top, sides and bottom of the frames which is very uncomfortable and somewhat painful for her. I have searched high and low for a child’s frame that fits her face snug enough to block out the light but that doesn’t hug her face so much that her eye lashes touch the frame, somewhat of fit-over frame or something similar to welder’s glasses. I found a file on Grabcad that I think would be perfect, https://grabcad.com/library/375-designs-protective-sunglasses-for-children-1 1. I am looking for someone in my area who could print them for me. Thank you.

Look for Bryan’s Hub! He is one of the best out there and is very easy to work with. His printers make high quality parts and he is very knowledgable about the field of 3D printing.

Hi

I feel for your daughters troubles.

I could not figure out what glasses you wanted to print by looking at your link.

I found the following thing on thingiverse – http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:672714

Maybe it would help you in some manner.

If you do some searching for a hub that prints using something like Semi Flex material, that might work for sealing light from

your daughters eyes.

I’m very surprised that you have gotten only one response to your inquiry here on 3dHubs.

Just my 2 cents worth.

That would just be an instant scaling thing other than facial contours :slight_smile:
