FlexMask - 3D Printed Face Mask

thingiverse

This is my design for a 3D printable face mask that can be combined with any commonly available fabric or filter media. **Detailed assembly instructions and material lists are available in the Powerpoint file.** This mask can be printed in <3 hours depending on how fast you can print flexible filament. The difference between the two included 3D models is that one has been altered to provide better airflow. Both models are perfectly funcitonal. **Filament:** Polymaker PolyFlex - (although any other flexible filament should also work) **Other Materials:** 1. Aluminum armature wire 1.5mm diameter - [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GL4C9R9/ref=twister_B07QYFXJLL?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) - [animationToolkit](https://www.animationtoolkit.co.uk/aluminium-wire-1-5mm-x-30-meters/) 2.
