This is a straightforward face guard assembly designed to safeguard front line healthcare workers from airborne particles. It's inspired by Prusa's Face Guard design with several notable variations: - Assembly is remarkably fast and requires no tools whatsoever, eliminating the need for hole punches or straps. - Sheets seamlessly fit into the grooves due to friction. - Straps are precision-cut from 2.85mm TPU filament extracted directly from a reel. To create this face guard, you'll need the following essential components: - A 3D-printed frame - A short length of 2.85mm TPU filament (or a similar alternative) - A PETG sheet measuring approximately 9.5 inches by 9.5 inches with a thickness of 0.5mm The side clips offer the perfect balance of tension to prevent the TPU from slipping back, while also being adjustable for optimal comfort. Interestingly, TPU filament doesn't tend to snag on hair like traditional elastic materials do. With numerous face guard designs already available, you might wonder why this particular design stands out. The answer lies in its optimized features: quick and effortless assembly, combined with the use of readily available materials such as TPU95 reels and Mayku vacuum forming sheets. This means that with contributors providing printed frames, we can rapidly assemble many face guards in a short amount of time. If you have access to a 3D printer, we encourage you to lend your printing capabilities to this cause!
