Wash Hands Sign (Inspired by ISO-1019)

thingiverse

After searching for inspiration from suitable signage which gives a clear message about washing one's hands, I came accross this one from Google images. In the ISO system, a white image on a blue background means the indication is mandatory and it doesn't need translation either! However, I believe there is license for a little colour in its implimentation, while retaining the original intent of the symbol/ signage. When printing out, the hands can be made in skintone PLA, the soap suds in white and the disc background in blue and white. The disc gcode file does have a pause-point for changing the colour of the filament from blue to white - at about 2.4mm of the printing height. The hands and soap suds have recesses in the disc, so it's merely a case of choosing flat or fillited (/rounded) as required and then playing around with how you want the colours done - flat skintone-coloured hands with fillited soap suds gives a little more emphasis to the soap, while if all are done in fillited form the effect is also quite pleasing.. The 3D 'puzzle' method can also be used as a tactile teaching tool. Have fun!
