3D Printed (Sun) Glasses for Children

pinshape

This design is specifically tailored for 3D printing children's glasses or sunglasses with a size range of approximately 42 – 14.5 – 109 – 25. Note that the design can be easily scaled and reoriented to accommodate adult head sizes, as evident in the images provided. However, if this is done, it's crucial to reposition the lenses within the frames for a proper fit. This design aims to contribute significantly to addressing a global need by making it freely available for all to use, regardless of their geographical location or economic status. The goal is to leverage 3D printing technology to produce items that can enhance the daily lives of many individuals worldwide. This initiative encourages designers to go beyond their own needs and desires, contributing positively to society. The design includes both frames and lenses, which need to be 3D printed separately to enable the manufacturing of functional glasses. The design is labeled as sunglasses since accurately fitting prescription lenses requires expertise that goes beyond the designer's skills. To create functioning glasses with prescription lenses, 3D print the lenses and then take them to a lens manufacturer for scanning and reproduction in actual lens material via CNC. However, if such services are not readily available, the 3D printed lenses can be sent to someone who possesses the necessary capacity. Nevertheless, it's essential to note that fitting prescription lenses requires precision, as the focal point of the lenses must be placed in specific locations. When creating glasses, it's crucial to be mindful of the materials used, especially since they come into contact with the skin. ABS is an inappropriate material for functioning use due to its known toxic composition. Design with a positive impact in mind and enjoy the process of creation.
