Easy 3D printed Face Shield - Hooded Upgrades

thingiverse

Here's a second version with a hood I added for better coverage of the forehead. As base for all modifications and add-ons, I used the great face shield mask design by HanochH which can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4233193. All you need to use this is some sort of elastic or just a rubber band and A4 transparency film (inserted in landscape orientation). My modifications/add-ons are: <b>01. Hood</b> This hood covers the forehead of the user while not being too snug, ensuring comfort and allowing breathing air to escape at the top without fogging up the shield. <b>02. Hooks</b> These added hooks allow you to attach and lock elastic bands. Since elastic bands are getting hard to acquire in a timely manner, this design makes it possible to also use simple rubber bands without having to hook them in each time you put on the mask (see photos). I designed the hooks to print at a slope without needing supports because this part is so small it will print fine as long as you have proper part cooling (see photo). So just try printing without supports first and only add those if needed. <b>03. Perforated Frame</b> To avoid fogging up of the shield during use and for less print material consumption. <b>04. Wider Base at the Ends</b> This wider base will ensure better bed adhesion, so if the original design was warping at the ends for you, now you can print without the need of a raft/skirt.
