The e-NABLE community is a global, distributed, loosely coordinated effort to design, produce, and deliver upper-limb assistive technology to those in need. e-NABLE's volunteers are often 3D-printing enthusiasts who are driven to use their skills to improve the lives of others. Volunteers provide the devices they produce to recipients around the world; these recipients are mainly children, but some are adults as well. While e-NABLE and its participants have received much attention from the media, little has been written about the experiences of the e-NABLE device users themselves. In this paper, we document the experiences of one user of an e-NABLE hand, detailing in a first-person account the journey from a recipient to an active participant and advocate for self-efficacy.
