ergonomic mask seal

This is a straightforward Seal designed to keep a Standard Surgical Mask or fabric mask securely fastened to the face. In doing so, the mask can effectively function as a filter during both inspiration and exhalation. Please note that this is not a medical device, nor has it been certified in any manner. Use and printing are at your own risk. Numerous similar projects from other designers can be found online, each with its unique application. This design represents my personal interpretation, which I find more comfortable. The original example of a comparable mask holder comes from 2ROBOTGUY, whose work can be accessed through Thingiverse - https://www.thingiverse.com/2ROBOTGUY/about. The associated design is available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4231792. The Ergonomic mask Seal is printed flat on the 3D printer using PLA. It can then be molded into shape using warm water, allowing it to become pliable. A high-tickness version of the file is included, serving as a master or dummy mask that can be used to create multiple prints.
