Parameterized Mask Nose Clip

thingiverse

<p>This is a remix of the "Improved face mask nose clip" by gasstationwithoutpumps. <br><br> The primary intent of this remix is to provide a parameterized SCAD file that is not dependent on the ever-changing BOSL2 libraries, and instead just utilizes the free open-source OpenSCAD base program (<a href="https://www.openscad.org" target="new">https://www.openscad.org</a>) or the Thingiverse Customizer. The STL files included are just examples that are fitted to my nose. Users should be using the SCAD file and creating their own STL files for printing (this takes some trial and error). <br><br> Specific changes made by this Remix:<br></p> <ol> <li>Removed all dependency to the alpha-release BOSL2 libraries</li> <li>Rounded the bottom edge of the clip for comfort</li> <li>Provided parameters to roughly-contour the nose-bridge portion of the clip to the user's nose (nose width and height variance)</li> <li>Provided various cheek-to-nose transition options: <ul><li>Option 0 - Straight: This option rests on the outside of the mask and provides a straight cheek-to-nose transition piece. I had problems fogging up my glasses with these because of the size of my nose.</li> <li>Option 1 - Bump: This option rests on the outside of the mask and provides a small "bump" cheek-to-nose transition piece to push the edge of the mask more firmly into the corner between the user's nose and cheek.</li> <li>Option 2 - Slit: This option rests partly on the outside and partly on the inside of the mask by providing a small slit at the cheek-to-nose transition. The intent is to have the nose-bridge portion of the clip absorb the force exerted on the end of the nose and transfer it to the cheeks. This option worked like a champ for me! Note: I reinforced the connection at the slit as much as I felt reasonable, but it can still be <i>very</i> fragile. I recommend increasing the thickness of the band and the "base thickness" of the clip to help alleviate some fragility.</li> </ul></li> </ol> <p><br><br> Please note, my code is sloppy and inefficient right now, but I figured it was better to get working code that kinda stinks out there to bounce off folks. <br><br> If you run into any issues or have suggestions, I'm happy to attempt to address them!</br></p>
