Human: 3D Printed Mask (with Extra Sealing) – Product Details This guide, available in PDF format through the files section, will walk you through all the necessary information for the 3D printed mask designed by FredSWUG and later modified and improved by Emanuel Enasoaie. The mask is intended as a personal protection measure when no other option is available. The idea behind this project was to create a 3D printed mask that ensures a tight seal with the face, rather than simply producing a visually appealing or commercially viable design. Before starting, you will need the following raw materials: PLA and TPU/FLEX filament, makeup cleaning disks or an air purifier HEPA filter, and a strong adhesive (super glue). Important Note: The design does not guarantee 100% safety, but it is better than nothing. For full protection, purchase a certified mask. The mask consists of three main parts: the mask itself, the cartridge, and the face seal. All project files can be found at the link provided: Google Drive. For this project, Solidworks 2020 was used. The necessary files are included in the archive: SW files, Step format of the project, preconfigured 3MF files for Prusa i3 MK3S, renderings of the project, and GCODEs. As you can see, only in the cartridge are four gaskets (blue elements) that are compressed to achieve the best possible seal. Initially, the cartridge was smaller but due to poor air flow, it has been increased from 35mm to 50mm in diameter. There is always room for improvement. The goal of this project is to make the mask as affordable as possible without requiring hard-to-find items (considering that some items have become scarce).
