Mod(hack) Covid 19 mask

thingiverse

Here is my remix of COVID-19 Emergency mask by Navakasi, incorporating elements from Covid Mask with exhale filter by BigLatte and Modified Montana Mask by Masterkookus. I combined the designs to create a unique mask that addresses some of the limitations I encountered in the original models. The nose section was too narrow in the initial design, so I widened it to accommodate the weatherstripping liner. I also eliminated the screw threads, opting instead for circular smooth holes for hex insert compatibility. For optimal performance, I recommend using 1 3/16" o-rings for all intakes and exhausts. The exhaust section has identical dimensions, allowing you to repurpose it as a third filter. I removed the strap attachments from Masterkookus' design and replaced them with triangular loops, ensuring no supports are needed during printing. To simplify assembly, I created an adapter for the filters, but I plan to modify the attachment mechanism to fit hex inserts in the future. Additionally, I added extra material under the side intakes to reduce support requirements. However, the design still requires further refinement to incorporate internal hex supports. All modifications were made using Blender, which allowed me to create a functional prototype despite some compromises on aesthetics.
