Ed,
You know what surprises me about your statement about people not being able to afford an electric chair? I wanted one for my dad, and started looking on Craigslist for a used one. I was amazed, there were tons of them at very low prices! I bought a Jet 7 from a woman that had gotten it for her mother through insurance. She said she drove it once around the neighborhood, never used it again and died 6 months later. Looked like new though it sat under a tarp in her garage for 10 years. For $300 and two new batteries at $90 each we had an excellent chair. My dad hasn't used it in a while although he still has it and keeps the battery charged. I expect to donate it to someone when he passes. So if you know anyone that needs one try Craigslist and you may be pleasantly surprised.
To get back to 3D printing. Yes a 3D printer would probably be great for making chair accessories. Things like holders for different items, specialized arm, leg or head rests, etc.
