My sweet little hedgehog boy Mojito looked at me and went "when I grow up, I wanna be just like you! disabled!" and then his back legs went and stopped working SO! He has become wheelchair bound. I designed and 3D printed him one, and he was getting the hang of it, buuuut part of it broke on the drive to another city for winter break. And I am stranded without access to a 3D printer for a month. But you know what I do have? My B E A D S. So. With the help of a ladder stitch, the good string, some random screws and bolts I found lying around, hot glue, a shaved down chopstick, and wheels scrapped from the first prototype.... He has a sick new kandi wheel chair!!! And in a few days when I am reunited with my sweet hedge-hoggy princelet we can see how it works !!!! It definitely has better movement than the first model so I have high hopes!! Shoutout to @Cool_cats3 in ajax's kandi discord for giving me the idea to use a ladder stitch, and generally being an awesome sounding board for ideas!
