Covid-19 Face Shield / Mask / Visor - Easy to Print Design

thingiverse

Human: **Update: Here's Version 2** https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4275083 I've created a face mask that can be easily printed on a large scale by stacking and in a very short time frame. My idea was straightforward, the main section made in a lattice structure to save on print time and materials while retaining the required rigidity for the task. My design consists of two simple parts that are printable in standard PLA filament: **Part 1** - AKA the main visor part Made of a lattice structure , designed with the intention of being able to be printed one on top of the other, allowing it to be mass printed even on small 3D printers (I've used the FlashForge Finder Printer myself). Please see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHKBvk8IAc0 by Devin at Make Anything, to see how this is done! **Part 2** - The head forehead support/stabiliser This part will not be stackable due to the slight curve for the forehead support, but it can still easily be mass printed and in a very short time (Please Note depending on how accurate your printer is you may need to adjust the notches that fit into Part 1). This part could also be expanded further to provide more support, so feel free to test and adapt. Print Settings: **Part 1: Layer Height - Either 0.2mm, 0.4mm or 0.6mm (Making sure z axis height of part is 3.6mm) Infill: 0% Perimeter Shells: 2% ***IF STACKING PRINT MAKE SURE TO APPLY ACCURATE LAYER GAPS AND TEST PRIOR TO PRINTING A LARGE AMOUNT. PART 2 ESPECIALLY NEEDS TO BE SETUP EXACTLY RIGHT AND WILL STILL BE A LITTLE CHALLENGING TO SEPERATE*** **Part 2** Layer Height: 0.2mm Top solid layers: 2 ***Please note these are the settings for my Flashforge finder printer with a relatively small nozzle, for people with larger scale printers with larger print nozzle setups please feel free to push the settings to its limits, as I believe this could be printable on average in less than 2 minutes with the right settings*** I've included as many file types as I can to hopefully mean the most amount of people can edit, improve and print my design. I believe if printed on mass this design could really help cut down on the materials required and time taken to print a face mask. Any questions about my design, just ask and any feedback is appreciated! Please note. If changing the size of the Visor, be sure to change both part sizes equally in order for them to fit together.
