BaselineDesign RC3 Feathered Vertical Protection

prusaprinters

<p>After delivering 50 RC3s to a local hospital I worked with them to further improve the design to address their concerns.</p> <p>With the RC3 they liked the comfort and its the ability to adjust to any head size but disliked the open top and wanted something with more protection.</p> <p>I had them try Chris's closed-top design and they liked how it offered much more protection but disliked how it made the plastic much stiffer causing a pressure point on the forehead and creating a sizeable gap on the sides of the temple.</p> <p>This design addresses both issues through the use of a feathered design that when flexed causes the forward and rear feathers to overlap creating much more protection while also maintaining the flexibility of the RC3 allowing it to adjust to any head size and not cause pressure points.</p> <p>This design was also speed optimized and takes slightly less time to print than the less complicated RC3</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Use the Prusa RC3 settings for guaranteed success or use my g-code for 2.75 hour prints for two.</p>
