Low-fi Covid Respirator Mask - 3D Universe Remix

***EDIT*** I DELETED MY FILES FOR THE BLACK VINYL WRAPPED MASK AS I BELIEVE THERE IS A MORE RELIABLE SOLUTION (SHOWN IN THE FIRST PICTURE). IF YOU WANT THESE FILES PLEASE MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY. SPECIAL THANKS to Reddit u/SirPinkBatman for doing the adjustment to the "Billings Clinic" mask https://www.billingsclinic.com/foundation/. For this mask I would use a certified N95 mask and cut it into 4-5 pieces. You can then use the pieces for safe filtering, turning 1 N95 into multiple masks. You can also scale it for a better fit. **3/27 7pm -Wanted to add, this material might be an awesome option as well: https://www.healthcarepackaging.com/home/article/21124863/second-life-sterile-wrap-fashioned-into-masks This is still a work in progress because I'm waiting on plastic FDA approved tubing to be delivered to create a seal around the face. I will hopefully be able to have a registered nurse fit test the final build next week. For another option the design below is a great alternative if you want quickly swappable filters. They take longer to build however: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4237783 After Six days of testing I consider these two masks to be the the best options out there so far for 3D printed mask designs. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE MAKING YOUR OWN FILTERS FROM HOUSEHOLD HEPA, FILTRETE, VACUUM ETC. CLOTH. SOME MANUFACTURERS USE FIBERGLASS. Below are links from my original post. Leaving them here to credit the people that put me and many others on this path. Good Luck to everyone! LEGAL: I MAKE NO CLAIMS THAT THIS WILL PREVENT OR PROTECT AGAINST COVID-19 OR ANY VIRUS, BACTERIA OR PARTICULATE.** The idea is that a mask like this is better than not having anything at all. We have a shortage in our hospitals and this is a last line of defense option. OLD Mask with black Vinyl tape is obsolete now.
