Bandana Nose Bridge/Support

thingiverse

Hey everyone, I've been using a bandana as a face mask lately and it's had some major drawbacks - mainly because it pushes down on my nose making breathing difficult and leaving it sore after extended wear. So I set out to create a solution that would contour to your nose, providing extra support around the nose area, filling in gaps to prevent fogging of glasses, and making breathing through the nose easier. I've gone through multiple design iterations based on how each one feels on my face and have uploaded DWG files so you can modify it to fit your needs. Version 1.0 is a basic nose band with an additional part that extends further down the nose for extra support. Version 2.0 was an edit of version 1.0, designed based on how it felt on my face. I added extra bands to support the lower parts of the nose, making breathing easier. The ends were made thinner so they rest just under the cheekbones. A small part extends upward and is folded back slightly to sit over the main nose bone. To save material and reduce print time, a chunk was taken out of the middle. Version 2.1 is the same as version 2.0 except I added a small part that extends further out from the lower nose bands. I haven't tested this design yet but hope it will hold the cloth further from the nostrils, making breathing easier. I hope you find this part useful and if you need any other file formats to edit the design easily, just let me know.
