Teacher makes new webbed feet for duck
A middle school teacher has made new webbed feet for a duck who lost his to frostbite using a 3-D printer.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WLS) -- A duck in Wisconsin has a new lease on a life thanks to a teacher's compassion and 3D printing technology.

Phillip the duck has a new set of webbed feet 3D printed by a middle school teacher. The duck lost his feet due to frostbite. Now, with his synthetic flippers made of a strong material called "Ninja-Flex," he will spend the rest of his days waddling round a Wisconsin bird sanctuary.
