Team UnLimbited supplies the Alfie Edition Arm and the Phoenix Hand:

You can download the OpenSCAD files and instructions for the Alfie Edition Arm or the Phoenix Hand and generate custom STL files that you can print and assemble yourself.

Alternatively, you can request a device directly from Team UnLimbited. But of course they have a waiting list.

Team UnLimbitied is a UK-registered charity, but they partner with e-NABLE US, e-NABLE France and the LimbBo Foundation - another UK charity.

cool example of 3d printing being genuinely useful instead of just making desk toys. the kid-focused custom fit and easy repairability are the really interesting bits.
