Corona Virus Face mask - Covid-19 Mini Respirator

myminifactory

A prototype for a durable, lightweight, reusable face mask to augment the supply of face masks during the current shortage of PPE during the COVID-19 outbreak. The mask is provided “as-is” and primarily acts as a mechanical barrier. It is not a replacement for N95 masks. Developed in collaboration with medical professionals, the mask prototype may serve in clinical and field use. If printed, used and maintained correctly, the mask provides a durable, reusable mechanical barrier.  The prototype provides four components: a contoured mask, filter housing, band clip, and ninjaflex comfort insert (optional) No special tools are needed for assembly. The replaceable nonwoven filter materials recommended for the filter housing are widely available. Users will supply and install the elastic or cord. The contoured mask may be more closely molded to the user’s face by submerging the edges in hot water and pressing it to reform the shape against the face.    Currently printing locally - any tips given via Paypal will be used for filament to continue making these as fast as possible.
