PPE Face shield #100faceshields challenge

thingiverse

Here is a 4-piece face shield version including a template for cutting clear transparencies or Clear PET with a Cricut, Silhouette, laser, or any other cutting machine. I recommend using a 7mil or 10mil transparency for the face plate. I personally use 10mil PET. You can find these materials here: https://www.cfsbinds.com/binding-supplies/booklet-covers-report-covers/clear-covers.html and https://www.cfsbinds.com/8-75-x-11-25-med-10-mil-rounded-corners-100-bundle.html. To assemble the face shield after printing and cutting: Step 1: Insert the clear material under the right side gap and into the right lock pin of the frame. Step 2: Bend the frame outwards, inserting the clear material under the left side gap and into the left lock pin of the frame. Step 3: Release the bending and slide the center hole into the center pin. Make sure all the transparency is securely fastened at all three pins. Step 4: Install the base, ensuring the cuts align and lock into place. Step 5: Install the hood's two pins into the frame's center grabbers, taking care not to break them. **** NOTES **** If the hood pins are either too thick or too thin, adjust your slicer material flow settings up or down accordingly. The frame opening pin holes are 4.5mm and the pins on the hood are tapered between 4.3~4.7mm, so they should fit snugly but variations in material type may cause slight discrepancies. Using a .6mm nozzle will decrease printing speed and require adjustments to your Cura slicer settings. I've also included my Cura 4.6.1 profile for reference. If the hood doesn't conform to a desired forehead diameter after printing with PLA, use a hair dryer at maximum heat to soften just the corners and reshape it. After cooling down, the material will harden again. #100faceshields challenge May glory always be given to God.
