Customized Montana Mask

thingiverse

This is a remixed version of the Montana Mask. See https://www.billingsclinic.com/foundation/ for the original design or further background information. Credit for the original design belongs to Billings Clinic Neurosurgeon Dusty Richardson, MD, in collaboration with Billings-area dentist Spencer Zaugg, DDS, and his son Colton. If you want to order the filter material mentioned in the link, I have included the Filter Order Form from Flowmark/HighTech. By many reports, a common problem with masks like this is achieving a good fit to the face. The original design used a scan of one of the designers' faces and suggests scaling up or down to get a better fit. My daughter is a UW-Madison senior in Biomedical Engineering working a co-op rotation at a company producing ventilators. Her lab takes many precautions, but she asked me to print some masks for her V&V team. I am an Electrical Engineer with experience on projects using the Intel RealSense Depth Cameras (inexpensive and readily available). My wife is a Nurse Practitioner with practical concerns about known problems with face seals and comfort. This custom version offers improved fit and comfort by splitting the mask body into two pieces, allowing the piece in contact with the face to be printed with softer flexible filament (TPU), and providing a body that can be intersected with a 3D face scan. My goal is to take multiple 3D face scans and use them to create custom masks with improved fit and comfort.
