Mask strap efficiency - covid 19 mask buckle

grabcad

This is my take on a strap for face masks. The part is created by printing a set, then connecting with any filament which will also determine its width. This reduces the filament needed for a single print to make face masks more comfortable for medical workers treating coronavirus patients. Small bars on either side of the plastic buckle keep the elastic tight behind the mask-wearer's head, so it doesn't put painful pressure on their ears. Face masks are a crucial part of protecting front-line medical workers from contracting coronavirus, but wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for an extended period can be extremely uncomfortable for the wearer. This simple model has been reimagined by Amjad Saeed Abdul Latif to use with 3D printers and print for free anywhere.
