3D Printed Peristaltic Pump

I’ve seen many of this project during the years but …

is’nt this openCare?? :slight_smile:

What was your goal in building this project?

Feeding my grandfather is challenging because we were squeezing blended food through ordinary syringes. The feed rate must be slow to keep my grandfather comfortable (not feel bloated). We cannot rush and it also takes a lot of strength. I wanted to make this easier for everybody, as my aunts and uncles do not have unlimited days off, and I really don’t think grandmother has the strength to do this task alone.
