Modified Ear Saver

thingiverse

I revised the design for ear savers on surgical masks. The previous design was causing issues due to retractions on the teeth and high print speeds. This new design should be faster to print, and it's less likely to break at the teeth thanks to rounded edges that eliminate most of the abrupt angle changes. Please provide your feedback; I'm unsure if this angle of the teeth is aggressive enough, and I don't have a surgical mask to test with. I'm open to making modifications. I've also attached the SketchUp file used in the design process. --- Update: If you like this design, try my Mk2 version. It's significantly lighter, has fewer pokey edges, and features more tooth rake to keep elastics in place. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4294969
