thingiverse

With this filter adapter, you can transform a snorkeling mask into a faceshield featuring a breathing filter. This model includes both the adapter and a grid that securely holds the filter material in place. For suitable filter materials, browse the internet for the latest possible alternatives. In my prototype, I utilized the filter from a vacuum cleaner, but there may be better options available. Functionality: - Breathe in through the filter - Exhale through the integrated bypass channels and the side grid of the adapter How to: - Remove the original top snorkel of the mask - Replace it with the filter adapter assembly This is a prototype, and feel free to modify or upgrade it with better ideas. DISCLAIMER: You use this model at your own risk. If respiratory problems occur, stop using this model immediately. This model has not been certified by any regulatory agency. Please note that this model does not include the required filter to effectively block the spread of the virus. Additional isolation measures may be necessary to properly fit the face without air gaps. We are not a medical company and cannot guarantee factual protection against the virus. The SUBEA Easybreath mask was designed for snorkeling purposes only and is not intended for use as personal protective equipment (PPE) or a medical device. It's also important to note that sealing on dry skin is not guaranteed, and the CO2 rate inside the mask would increase with prolonged use, especially in stressful or tense situations. Our Easybreath mask is not a disposable product and requires thorough disinfection after each use, which can impair the materials. Furthermore, we do not recommend modifying the mask yourself, as this could compromise its functionality, particularly regarding air flows.
