Improved 6200 outlet (require sealant)

thingiverse

Read this paragraph carefully!!! ***Version1: 1mm gap requires a precise sealant application within a narrow range of 0.5-1mm to ensure an even thickness sealant, which is essential for preventing leaks if done correctly - highly recommended. ***Version2: Smallest gaps often result in minor leakage, and applying sealant may be impossible due to the tiny gap size or inability to lock with your mask outlet, making it unsuitable for those without sealant. You can determine the best approach by assessing Version 1 after sealing has been applied. (Place your hand palm over the entire outlet and breathe in to check for any leakage.) Surgical masks can be placed inside the container with good ventilation ability. ------------------------------------------------------- Main Purpose: Create a physical barrier to prevent infection transmission through droplets and extend the life of disposable masks, which are consumed quickly. If you suspect you've been infected by a virus or are experiencing an incubation period, wear a standard surgical mask. My invention serves as a secondary option for those with no other choice. ------------------------------- Pros: 1.Better Exhalation 2.Near Zero Leakage (with sealant applied on V1) 3.Redirect of outgoing air to downward. Cons: 1.Take longer time to print (1hr45mins for 2mm layer height, 1hr25mins for 3mm height(Tested ok)) 2.Larger in size ------------------------------- If you are under the age of 18, work under parental or adult supervision to ensure your work is safe.

The structure inside my device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOBNJTvGNV0 ============================== Design Reason: Due to the global spread of the Coronavirus pandemic. Common surgical masks prices have increased dramatically. VFE mask demand will surge beyond expectations. To reduce valuable mask consumption, an alternative measure is required immediately to protect your family, friends, neighbors, or country people. Design purpose: Primarily block large users' sneezing and coughing droplets or saliva from the respirator outlet. Secondarily slow down global mask consumption rate. Slow the spreading ability of Coronavirus. Protect loved ones nearby. New Outlet allows you to reduce viral particles coming out from your airway. Viral particles often use droplets as a transport mechanism to travel in the air and infect others. Droplet reduction occurs when gas is breathed out through the resized surgical mask. If suspected infected with coronavirus, wearing a surgical mask is highly recommended. The incubation period is far longer than imagined (at least 14 days without obvious symptoms). Improved Outlet allows you to place a surgical mask inside the container with distancing between the respirator outlet and my external outlet, providing BETTER breathing rate during exhalation (5mm). Remember to replace the surgical mask every 4 hours (can be more if needed) to ensure proper condition and well-functioning while exposed to dangerous areas. Avoid crowded areas even when wearing a mask. -Clean the respirator carefully after usage. Viral particles can survive many days on surfaces (stainless steel up to 9 days). Your fingers may contact the mask surface, so avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose without proper precautions. ============================== CAUTION: Take full responsibility for using this device, although I have conducted multiple tests (test ok no leak and very minor defect), my design/invention isn't certified or tested by official/government or professional personnel. Possible defects may arise from different machine qualities or unstable printing processes. Ensure no air leakage with the mask (perform "fittest" test without the outlet container). Misuse of this device can result in serious infection/health damage or even death. Always seek advisory from professional personnel for user safety. ***DO NOT SLEEP WHILE USING THIS DEVICE, OR IT MAY CAUSE ASPHYXIATION (DIFFICULT IN BREATHING) TO YOU, AND ALWAYS STAY AWAKE AND PAY EXTRA ATTENTION WHILE UTILIZING THE DEVICE AT ANY PLACES ***AVOID GETTING WET TO THE SURGICAL MASK OR IT MAY LOSE FUNCTION AND LEAD TO DIFFICULT BREATHING ***MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION WHILE PRINTING OR IT MAY KILL YOU BY CONCENTRATING UFP (ULTRA FINE PARTICLES) IN YOUR LUNG. LUNG DISEASE MAY OCCUR A FEW YEARS LATER. ***SMALL AMOUNT OF TINY FLOATABLE DROPLETS STILL LEAK AROUND THE CONTAINER EDGE, PLEASE REMIND NOT TO GET TOO CLOSE TO OTHER PERSON ESPECIALLY ELDERLY AND COMORBIDITIES PATIENTS.
