No printing required. ================== Ok, to be honest, I wanted to print something; but seeing ptajdus' design reminded me on that IKEA bag clips,... so I tried a little (in fact 10 Seconds literally) et voilá ... What you need -------------------- * 2 small IKEA bag clips * 1 sheet of paper towel (or a tissue as well, whatever you like) * 2 rubber loops (the longer the better) * 1 double-sided velcro Steps (see pictures) ------------- - bind the rubber loops with velcro - fold sheet of paper into an accordion - clip both ends of the accordion with the IKEA bag clips, and unfold to form a cup-like structure - understand how the rubber and the velcro attach to the IKEA clips on both sides and if understood, remove - with one hand, hold the paper cup to your face - with the other hand, attach one rubber to the IKEA clip on one side - pull it around your back head and attach it to the IKEA clip on the other side - adjust strength of rubber pull by shortening or lengthening the velcro loop - or remove rubber bands with longer or shorter ones Modifications / optimizations ------------------- - print the IKEA clips by yourself; or use original makers' approach - use comfortable tissue instead of paper towel - let your children paint funny pictures on the paper towel (or the tissue) - strengthen the mask by gluing the ends and/or enforcing the upper/lower parts with cardboard - to optimize protection, use two sheets instead of one - if you want to replace the IKEA clips by self-made ones (we are makers, anyway), you could use the clips here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:330151/files; I attached one of these to my files for easier access.
