Waves Surgical Mask Clip (ear saver)

thingiverse

This is a mask clip (ear saver) I designed to hand out at the hospital I work at. This allows healthcare professionals and support staff to go for extended periods wearing masks with ear loops without getting chafed ears. I found various other designs to be lacking in one way or another, so I took the time to come up with something optimized for printing quickly in large quantities. Can be packed densely on a build plate, requires no brim or supports, and the entire part consists of concentric curves to allow for fast and smooth printing. No sharp corners, very flexible when printed in PLA (haven't tested other materials but suspect PETG would work well also.) Achieves superior contact comfort to some flat printed designs I'd been handing out due to print orientation.
