3M 6200 Exhalation Redirection

thingiverse

I, along with several nurses I work alongside, have discovered that wearing the respirator with a face shield can sometimes cause fogging issues. We required a solution to redirect the exhaust from the mask downwards and away from our line of sight. I redesigned the surgical mask filter for the exhalation valve to enable the air to be vented downwards. I'm relatively new to 3D Design, and I only started using it as a result of needing to print PPE for myself and my colleagues. If anyone has any improvements, feel free to modify as needed. Update - I didn't realize the shell was as thin as it was. When I printed it, I could see through some spots and the structural integrity was poor. I managed to thicken the roof. I also added a square version (V1) for ease of printing purposes.
