Bandana Nose Bridge/Support

thingiverse

Hey everyone. Recently I've been using a bandana as a face mask. After having to wear it for extended periods it would push down my nose making it hard to breathe and make my nose sore. I made this part to contours to your nose, adding some extra support to the bandana around the nose making it more comfortable to wear, fills in the gaps to prevent you glasses from fogging, and making it a little easier to breath through your nose. I've been working through several iterations of the design based on how each one feels on my face. Some of the older versions might work better for certain people. I've also uploaded the DWG files so that the part can be edited to fit your needs. Version 1.0 is just a basic nose band with a little part in the middle that extends further down the nose for extra support. Version 2.0 was an edit to version 1.0 based on how it felt on my face. I added some extra bands to support the lower parts of the nose, making it a little easier to breathe. I also made the ends thinner so that they rest just under my cheekbones. I added a small part that extends upward, which I folded back slightly so that sits over the main nose bone. Lastly I took an unnecessary chunk out of the middle to save material and reduce print time. Version 2.1 is the same as 2.0 except I added a small part that extends further out from the lower nose bands. I have yet to test this design out, but I'm hoping this will hold the cloth further from the nostrils, making it easier to breathe. I hope you all find this part useful. If you would like any other file formats so you can easily edit the design to fit your needs, just let me know.
