Luckily,Leon's school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon."We used a soccer shinguard(护胫),cardboard,and tape.They cost about 10."says paul.
With his new hand,Leon can do things better."I can help my mom more,because now I can carry two grocery bags,"he says.
