Better Than Nothing PPE Ring

thingiverse

The idea it to help you simply cover your face very quickly and easily with whatever filter material you have. If you re-use, toss the cloth and wash the ring. Until actual masks are more widely available, places could distribute a plastic baggie of a few sizes of this ring (or a ring like it), some elastic strips, patches of cloth, and basic printed instructions. It's pretty chunky, with room to optimize and remove some material. I'm using PLA, so a few second blast with a hair drier and you can mold this perfectly to the bridge of your nose. I'll reiterate this is a less than optimized design. I learned just enough Fusion360 to create this on my old MakerBot. There's probably quite a bit of room for improvement if you wanted to mass print a whole bunch of these. Contact me with questions or whatever: tcm18@pct.edu.
