Face Mask Extender for Ear Relief

thingiverse

I crafted this solution to alleviate ear strain from wearing surgical masks, a problem I encountered firsthand while designing it for my girlfriend. She wore it throughout her entire shift and gave it two thumbs up, saying it was incredibly comfortable. This design should also work seamlessly with PLA filament. The pegs are spaced 6 inches apart on the outside, while the inner pegs are positioned 4 inches apart. ***** REV B introduces an additional set of inner pegs, a thoughtful touch that enhances comfort and stability. To speed up printing time, I hollowed out the tops of the pegs in this revised design. For optimal results, I recommend using four perimeter layers when printing.
