Facial Mask 1.1

#3DvsCOVID19 As any self-made mask it doesn't have the purpose to fully protect you against the virus, but it helps in fact to decrease the spreading of viruses through fluids that come out the mouth and nose. This is a very simple to print mask. The outer side can be printed in around 3 hours and the inner part 2,5 hours. If you print the outer side with TPU, then use the file with support and remove the support by trimming it with a normal scissor. If you print the outer side with hard plastics, then use the file without support and use the support calculated by your slicer. I don’t recommend it, because of the nose fitting and I also don’t recommend any 3D printed hard plastics in contact with the face skin! The inner part can be printed with any normal plastic such as PLA, ABS, PETG, but TPU can also work. Except NinjaFlex, because it is too soft. Then, between the outer part and the inner part you should add any thin filter or cloth fabric to use as a filter. The efficiency of the filtering will depend on the material you use, but in general this is not very important, because a virus is so tiny that you can’t filter it anyway. Remember that these masks are not intended to filter viruses from the breathing air, but to filter the viruses that come from droplets of mouth and nose. For finishing just add some cords and that is it!!!! ******* UPDATE 05.05.2020 - THE DOWNLOAD HAS ONE ADDITIONAL VERSION SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED FOR AN ASIAN FEMALE FRIEND THAT PROVIDED THE 3D SCAN OF HER FACE. THEREFORE IT MAY BE SUITABLE MOSTLY FOR OTHER ASIANS, BUT AS ANY MASK IT WILL NOT FIT EVERYONE, EVEN WITH THE SAME ETHNICITY GROUP *********
