COVID-19 Mask Cap, Totoro Edition

cults3d

UPDATE: added LaFactoria3D's original mask parts that this is designed to fit. It's a good design, but if you feel their updated version provides better protection I urge you to use it instead. Replacement cap for LaFactoria3D's COVID-19 MASK While printing mask parts for Lowell Makes I wanted to find some way to help healthcare workers relieve some stress. Making replaceable caps seems the best way to offer an adjustment; these clip right onto existing masks without interfering with function and maybe they can lighten the mood in pediatrics. This model is the Totoro Smile facemask cap. It clips in place of the existing cap, is lightweight, doesn't interfere with airflow, but probably won't fit under a face shield. I have not printed it yet as I'm still printing others, but it slices well in Cura. It's meant to be printed at whatever angle you feel is best to avoid layer stepping and will need supports. The whisker holes are intended to hold a length of black filament securely. I'm not satisfied with the result looking much like Totoro (having to conform to the base mask is an interesting challenge on these) but maybe you can paint one differently and make unique characters: Cheshire cat, furry, etc. If you find any issues with it or think of ways to improve its design, please let me know. And feel free to modify this and share with the community.
