40MM NATO (RD40x1/7) to Spasciani Bayonet (Duetta and Duo) 2000 Series Filter Adapter ================================================================== This prototype design for a 40MM NATO (RD40x1/7”) gas mask thread to Spasciani bayonet (Duetta and Duo) 2000 742 series filter adapter. This adapter makes any RD40x1/7 threaded full face CBRN masks compatible with Spasciani 2000 bayonet series line of chemical, combination, and particle filter cartridges to help mitigate PPE shortages by expanding greater cross compatibility of respirators and filters to other manufacturer models. Part Description: ============= 40MM_NATO_TO_SPASCIANI_2000_SERIES_FILTER_ADAPTER_GASKET_GEN1.stl 40MM_NATO_TO_SPASCIANI_2000_SERIES_FILTER_ADAPTER_GEN1.stl Initial model release. Disclaimers/Risks: =============== 1.) Use Proper Gaskets It would appear that the respirator to filter gasket is integrated onto the mask side. Therefore recommended users use double-sided tape or spray adhesive to adhere rubber gasket/TPU to the outer periphery of the female side connection of this adapter as the geometry is reversed, bayonet on filter side, and female connection is mask side. 2.) Perform Proper Negative Pressure Test Follow SSPs established by your institution or workplace for further guidance. But in general, don your respirator, adjust straps till taught against face, ensuring no obstructions around the periphery of the seal against face either due from hair, facial hair, or otherwise. Exhale deeply. Cover all inhalation ports. (Typically, most full face or half face respirators have two filters, so cover those intake ports with your hands. If your running only one filter, ensure the opposite port has filter cap in place.) Now inhale deeply. The mask should suck tightly against your face without any air leakages. Re-test if adjustments are required at gasket/o-ring interfaces at the adapter. 3.) Use At Own Risk – Temporarily Solution Only Until Supply Chain Normalizes 3D printing materials are not resistant to many solvents, are water soluble, and degrade when exposed to chemicals, heat, and UV/sunlight. 3D printing this adapter is only a temporarily ad-hoc solution against biological contagions. In addition to using a properly calibrated 3D printer, due to tolerances of adapters, if possible perform hot nozzle pass on all exterior surfaces, to reduce surface porosity. Highly recommended users apply a thin layer of polyurethane clear coat on all exterior surfaces, spray or dip based methods, to help resiliency and durability for repeated sterilization and to reduce fomite transmission in printed infill layers. Once supply chains return to normal, users should purchase OEM OSHA/NIOSH/EN standard approved respirators, adapters and accessories for their institution and workplaces. Dev. Notes: ========= 5/19/2020 - Initial model release. In work, pending 3D printing community support for any fitment and model revisions.
