At work I made a 3D Printed Cover for a Leg Prosthesis. Our one-legged queen wanted to have a skull as a kneecap and the names of her 3 children on the cover .. so your boi delivered.

This type of prosthetic leg is called an "Endo-Exo-Prosthesis". You can see that there is no socket .. as one usually imagines a prosthetic leg. But instead the prosthesis is fixated straight into the bone of the thigh (femur). This gives the person very good control over the prosthesis and usually results in very good walking capabilities. For example this lady told me that she can feel stepping on a pebble while wearing sneakers ... pretty crazy. That's because forces applied to the prosthetic food are transmitted through the prosthetic leg straight into the bone, just as with a healthy leg.
The cover is printed in Nylon-Carbon filament, which is my favorite type of filament so far because it's tough and also looks really nice imo.
