Headband for Face Shield

thingiverse

Making a real difference in uncertain times with the COVID-19 crisis. This simple headband makes a vital face shield. Printing it on a Makerbot Replicator takes about an hour and thirty minutes. I will be posting new images soon of this improved version. 20% infill, no support material, PLA - that's the recipe for this essential item. The manufacturing process involves attaching double-sided VELCRO 19 mm wide to each side of temple inserts. To secure the VELCRO straps, grommets are used. For the face shield, School Smart 8-1/2 x 11 in Copier Film Without Sensing Strip is employed - a transparency sheet that's perfect for the job (Pack of 100) available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003U6KYO8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Many hospitals are in desperate need of these essential items. Make a difference by donating - it's an easy way to give back. My goal is to donate these face shields to a local hospital with the help of Chino High School 3D printers. Let's work together to Stay Safe.
