Face Shield for first responders

thingiverse

This design combines elements from various tested designs with input from first responders who have used them. A version is designed for attaching to the goggle strap, while another allows users to attach their own strap. #### Instructions on YouTube: Attach face shield to goggle strap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63PlHBl1Bck Attach transparency film sheet to visor part - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjyGMXZSSxQ Remove transparency film sheet from visor part - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqYTGnMkKxQ *** UPDATE 04/09/20 *** removed old designs and added latest revisions ###Description Most first responders cannot decontaminate their shields in the field, so they need to have a "disposable" shield that can be quickly replaced yet stays sturdy while moving and performing duties. These shields use a sheet of transparency film (can be letter or A4) that slides into and then locks into a slit in the visor. Based on feedback from my contact with the fire department I am printing these for, I made the following changes to the design I had been printing: 1. The brim of the visor was widened to give the shield a wider profile to fit better over goggles 2. A different design's version of the clamping slit was adopted, but with a decreased curve making it easier to open and close yet still tight on the sheet 3. The arms were extended and tilted inward slightly 4. Grooves were added along the arms to allow for more flex and comfort 5. The head profile was widened for less pressure on the head while wearing 6. The "attach to goggle strap" version is designed so the tips of the arms can slide under the strap on your goggles, then tilt up and the strap goes into the grooved slit, holding the visor in place 7. The "attach your own strap" version - self-explanatory
