Transparency Paper Shield Visor

thingiverse

This is a visor for a face shield that can be made using the supplied 3d printed parts and overhead/inkjet transparencies. Since the rise of what is know as the COVID-19/Corona Virus, face shields are becoming quite scarce within the medical community. This design is an attempt to help fill this supply gap with cheap commonly available materials. TEST PIECE: Print the test piece first to make sure the "gap" used to hold transparency paper prints open without being obstructed. Also print a few pegs to make sure they fit in the shield retention holes well, and stay in place. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Print out the frame (File name is face-shield-frame-v2.stl) and four pegs. 2. You *may* need to use an x-acto knife to gently cut/snap any very slightly fused plastic in the gaps that hold the transparency in place. 3. Insert a piece of 8.5x11 or A4 transparency paper into the frame slots. Use a marker to mark where the holes in the arms of the frame line up with the transparency. 4. Use a standard paper hole punch to punch out holes in the transparency, where you marked. 5. Re-insert transparency and use push-pegs to secure it into the frame. NOTE: The design is evolving. NOTE: This is a remix of the Zeoyn's face shield: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4237274 Differences: Transparency retention system re-designed (multi-piece, but holds better) Arms curve inward for tighter fit Completely flat arms, for less overhangs v2: - Elongate the transparency channel slightly,for better fit - Front peg holes now fully go through the frame
