Corona Virus Emergency Mask (Covid19)

thingiverse

PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. CREATED THIS LAST NIGHT FROM A FILE FOUND ONLINE, WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS MADE. PLANNING TO DESIGN AN EYE SHIELD LATER TODAY TO SHARE ALONG WITH OTHER PROPOSED CHANGES. INSERT PAPER TOWELS, FABRIC, OR FILTER MESH BEFORE SECURING THE FILTER LID. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MASK IS A PROTOTYPE AND DOES NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED. HOWEVER, USING VACUUM BAG FABRIC WILL TRAP 90% OF PARTICLES. WHILE IT FALLS SHORT OF N95 STANDARDS, SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. THE CORONAVIRUS HAS AN AVERAGE SIZE OF ONE MICRON, AND THE POROSITY OF THE 3D PRINT ALLOWS PARTICLES UP TO EIGHT MICRONS TO PASS THROUGH, ALLOWING THE VIRUS TO PENETRATE ANYWHERE. INCLUDED ARE SVG FILES FOR CREATING THESE MASKS BY HAND USING CARDBOARD, PAPER TOWELS, FABRIC, OR OTHER MATERIALS. ALSO PROVIDED IS A DXF CNC FILE FOR ROUTING AN EASY AND QUICK VERSION. STAY TUNED AND PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES. TEST RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE AT KNOWM.ORG/REVIEW-AND-SUGGESTIONS-FOR-COPPER-3D-NANOHACK-3D-PRINTED-MASK/.
