Minimal Ear Saver for Mask

thingiverse

I've designed this accessory specifically for people who need to wear masks for extended periods due to COVID-19. Its purpose is to alleviate discomfort caused by the strap behind the ears. **Two ways to wear it are shown in the first slide.** Although I didn't use a flexible filament, the object's slim profile gives it enough flexibility. Additionally, over time, it will mold itself to your head's shape as you wear it. There are similar models available; make sure this one is the best fit for you. ## ESTIMATE TIME PRINTING: Printing the model with low-quality settings (0.3 mm resolution, 0.4 mm nozzle) at a speed of 80 mm/s took approximately **12 minutes**. ### EDIT: In some cases, you might find the piece too short for your head. If that's the case, try applying a scale factor along the length axis in your slicer to achieve a more comfortable fit.
