Clip masque

thingiverse

Clip Masque is a DIY Kit that enables you to create a protective mask (barrier) without sewing, needles, thread or a sewing machine. This allows for frequent renewal of the mask's fabric. The Clip Masque - INALE Kit consists of two circular arc clips. Each clip features two arcs and two retention rings. Once the mask is assembled, the clips replicate the ergonomic shape of a sewn border (soft stitches that form a curve), making it easy to put on the mask and cover the top of the nose down to under the chin. They are lightweight and don't cause any discomfort when worn on the cheek. Before starting, it's worth recalling that this article presents an idea we're proposing. The "clip mask" kit is not designed for mass production or available for purchase yet. That's why we're providing a 3D printing file to makers with access to such tools, allowing them to assemble kits. This file will be freely available throughout the COVID-19 pandemic period.
