The goal is to create a barrier in front of your mouth that can stop or reduce the aerosol you emit. Q: What is this mask? A: This mask is simply a facial covering, so it's not a surgical mask or an N-95 respirator. The objective is to have a cover in front of your mouth that can stop/reduce the aerosol you emit. Esta máscara no es más que una cubierta facial, por lo que no es una máscara quirúrgica ni un respirador N-95. El objetivo es tener una tapa frente a su boca que pueda detener / reducir el aerosol que emite Ce masque n'est rien d'autre qu'un couvre-visage, il ne s'agit donc pas d'un masque chirurgical ou d'un respirateur N-95. L'objectif est d'avoir une couverture devant votre bouche qui puisse arrêter / réduire l'aérosol que vous émettez. This mask was inspired by a design from an Italian company named WASP. They did a great job using Blender to create a mask based on the human face. I printed their version, but with a basic printer it was difficult and time-consuming. https://www.3dwasp.com/mascherina-stampata-3d-da-scansione-3d/ Thank you for your intuition, I abandoned my original design (a geometrical shape that never fits the human face) and completely redesigned the mask based on an STL file of my own face, increasing its size slightly and modifying the shape to make it more universal. IMPORTANT: Once printed, you can model the mask using hot water (around 60 C). Submerge the face side of the mask in the hot water (not the filter part to avoid deformations)... at this point you can model it as you prefer. GASKET: The adhesive foam used for sealing doors and windows gaps will be perfect. FILTER: You can use any material that stops the aerosol emitted from your mouth. I tried three layers of Swifter dust remover, and it seems to be a good mix of breathability and filtering.

Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure" Designed in Fusion 360 FILES: STL Mask and Filter Stopper.
