Phoenix Mask

thingiverse

3d printed molds are used with a two-part, food-grade, platinum silicone. Use the mask molds like a waffle iron - mix, de-gas, and pour silicone into the peripheral_mold (the one that looks like as valley), then squish the medial_mold part into the peripheral_mold/pot'o'silicone. Then let your silicone set and remove your mask. The filter_molds are a little trickier (because of the narrow hexagonal slots). Try the "high pour" method - pouring your silicone into the filter_mold from a high point so that a narrow stream of silicone is entering at the height of the mold. Additionally, refrain (as much as possible) from trying to hit all the nooks and crannys in the filter_molds with your silicone, instead let the silicone spread out from where it lands. "High-pour" and the "spread" method will decrease the number of gaps and bubbles present in the finished silicone part. ************************************************************************************* File naming scheme: ie. mask_mold_medial_100_D_1 = Part_name | size[%] | Rev[Major - Letter] | Rev[Minor - Number] Print all (4) 100% parts for a complete set of "Medium" molds (mask and filter) and/or Print all (4) 105% parts for a complete set of "Large" molds (mask and filter) and/or Scale to whatever. ************************************************************************************* ***Remixed from the Montana mask with the support of my old college roommate, Joshua Cobin of Phoenix, Arizona. D rev, Scaled mask away from the face 20%, added a large size C rev, Added ridges to give silicone mask rigidity; incorporated gasket into mask B rev, Increased cross-sectional area at filter to allow for better breathability A rev, Remixed Montana mask into a silicone mold. Having mixed success trimming our silicone masks once they have set. We would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Thanks!
