Little Tony Stark testing his gauntlet. Not bad, huh?

While some people are out there 3D printing a dead king's face, other's are printing even cooler things, like a mechanical body-powered Iron Man prosthetic for a little boy who was born without a hand. 

Rayven "Bubba" Kahae, 3, was born with a malformed right hand. While most prosthetics are extremely expensive (around $40,000), Bubba's grandmother found E-Nable, a charity that creates superhero prosthetics for children. E-Nable managed to get him an Iron Man gauntlet for free.

Bubba's dad filmed the moment he tried it on for the first time, and what excited Bubba the most was something so special but so easy to take for granted —holding his own hand.
