I designed a CAD aid to help people with disabilities open faucet knobs

https://i.redd.it/thbofvysbm0h1.gif

I just printed some adapters for the faucets I have throughout my house so my wife can use the knobs more easily (she has a disability). I’m sharing them here in case anyone has these faucets (FV brand, Arizona model) and knows someone who has difficulty turning them or lacks hand strength (people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, elderly people, etc.).

I recommend printing them in PETG with 0.20 mm layer height, 6 walls/perimeters, and 35% infill.

Diseñe en CAD una ayuda para personas con discapacidad a abrir los pomos de la grifería

https://i.redd.it/mqxjy2dp8m0h1.gif

Buenas noches, acabo de imprimir unos adaptadores para mi casa para las canillas marca FV que tengo en toda la casa para que mi esposa pueda usar los pomos (ella tiene una discapacidad) comparto con todos por si alguien tiene estas canillas y tiene alguien conocido con problemas para girar las canillas o no tiene fuerza en las manos (gente con Artritis Reumatoídea, Esclerodermia, edad avanzada, etc)

Recomiendo imprimir con PETG, 0.20mm altura de capa, 6 perímetros, 35% infill.

Thick skin can't find veins, painful process while IV Rituximab

My wife was diagnosed with Diffuse Systemic Sclerosis in december 2025, her Rodnan Skin Score is 36.

Her arms are extremly hard and she suffers each time she has a vaccine, blood test or IV: The force that nurses apply to pierce the needdle through the skin hurt her veins once is hit. Also the skin is so thick that nurses can't find the veins in the first place.

How do you cope with this problem? I live in a poor country in South America, maybe in other places in the world, nurses use others methods for patients with hardened skin.

Thanks
