COVID-19 Mask Cap, Bane Edition

thingiverse

UPDATE: Having tweaked the tubes based on improved reference images, I refined their accuracy. These optional versions, named with "_Detailed" in the name, demonstrate what I mean. When printed mostly vertically and using Cura's "super quality" setting (0.12mm layer height), they print cleanly. This is especially important for tubes with the meshy/knobby pattern to show off that unique texture when dry-brushed. Someday, I'll paint mine up to share so you know what to expect when drybrushing. Includes LaFactoria3D's original mask parts designed to fit this model. It's a good design, but if you prefer their updated version for better protection, consider using it instead. Replacement Cap for LaFactoria3D's COVID-19 Mask -------------------------------------------------------------------- While printing mask parts for Lowell Makes, I sought ways to help healthcare workers relieve stress. Offering replaceable caps seems the best way to provide an adjustment; these clip right onto existing masks without interfering with function and might lighten the mood in pediatrics. This is my second mask: the Bane version. It clips into place of the existing cap, doesn't obstruct airflow, and fits under most face shields. I wouldn't recommend using it for cosplay as I made significant adjustments to conform to the base, increasing the size of the mesh opening to enhance ventilation. I printed the bases almost vertical but slightly tipped back. You can also print it on its back and facing upwards, but this increases the stairstepping pattern rounding the top of the curves. If you rotate the tubes vertically, they'll look cleaner around the circumference, but consider whether your printer can handle taller prints without compromising support structures. While I'm sure you can assemble the tubing part yourself, finding efficient ways to assemble LaFactoria masks and selecting appropriate filtration materials is covered in this video by GiveWave Studios: https://youtu.be/9ItpExBEieY If you encounter any issues with it or have ideas for improving its design, please let me know.
