Nanohack n95 Mask Double Air Entry

thingiverse

This is a remake of the Nanohack mask from Copper3D. I've updated the mask to make air inlets on both sides. Note that as this is just a cut in half, mirrored version of their mask, the threading of the caps is now specific to each side. This is my first attempt at doing anything in 3D, so be easy on me! If someone has some know-how, I'd like to improve the threading to be thicker and more solid. And also make both sides thread the same direction. Last, I'd like to extend the four corners on the tops so it's easier to twist off and on. HOW TO MAKE 1. Print the files with PLA. 2. Heat up a skillet filled with water to 60-65C. Place the "bottom fin" of the mask in the water. After a few seconds, it will become pliable. 3. Shape the bottom fin so it folds in and the outer flaps fold up. This will hold the chin. You can shape it around your chin; that temperature won't burn as the PLA doesn't hold or transfer heat well. 4. Then repeat with the sides. Last, shape the nose flaps to your cheeks and face. 5. Use glue to fill in any gaps from the chin flap and nose flaps. 6. Get some rubber bands or straps to hold it on. 7. Cut some cloth or surgical masks to the shape of the circle air inlet. You need two per side, four in total. Use the honeycomb disc between each filter for support. Make sure to wash or soak with dish soap and water every day of use. Dish soap breaks up the lipids that make up the outer encasing of COVID-19. Don't put it in the dishwasher as the heat will deform the mask.
