Other than children, the coolest thing I have made is a medical device. It’s only Class I (requiring no pre-market approvals) but I still had to register with the FDA before selling it.
At first I was making software while selling my device on the side. The feedback from patients and practitioners was so encouraging that I couldn’t bear to keep making software despite the generous compensation.
The majority of the device is 3D-printed and the remainder is formed in 3D-printed molds. I have over a dozen printers and one full-time employee keeping them going. Hoping the business will make enough to start paying me, too!
