Custom Product Adaptation — Sip n Puff System
Macdonald's designed and 3D-printed an automated sip-and-puff swing-away system — a motorized straw mount that swings into position at the press of a button.
Key Features
- Motorized swing — button press brings the straw forward; second press stows it and activates charging
- Adjustable positioning — 90 to 135 degrees
- Quick-release straw — press the blue ring and pull to remove
- Safety design — slower forward motion; spring-loaded for power failure protection
- Customizable straw length and bendable aluminum rod
How It Works
The system allows control of a power wheelchair by sipping or puffing air through a straw, designed for users with limited or no hand/arm function.
