Medical Face Shield V2

thingiverse

I uploaded new versions of each piece with minor changes on 2020-04-05. Low cost, fast (80-90 min) printed parts for a lightweight medical face shield. Fits over glasses. image shows an MD with shield, goggles and mask. MDs have picked up over 100 so far for covid-19. Only other parts needed are 8.5x11" overhead transparency film and hair elastic. Standard 3 hole punch the transparency film. Skinny parts make sticking to the plate touchy. Adjustments likely needed with change of filament. 1 or 2 units fit on MK3S and 1 on Mini. Make extra washers since they are fiddly and easy to lose. Choices of use in declining order: 1- dispose after single use, 2- replace the film, 3- don't use for 4 days, 4- wipe down with alcohol. Reuse immediately only if you have to. PLA and PETG melt in an autoclave. I have made 100 so far for Canadian MDs. They like them and are distributing them rather than disposing. Offer shields to your local clinic, doctor's office, hospital, grocery store, pharmacy... Buy transparency film from Staples or similar. Amazon won't deliver film or elastics now. Someone please design one that fits A4 European film sheet and standard holes. Improvements encouraged.
