Print in Place Face Shield - No Punch Required

thingiverse

I'm combining these two face shields to create something unique. Credit for the snap design goes to HanochH, who first showed me the idea. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4233193 https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/ This mash-up is one of the best face shield designs available right now because it has several key advantages. Firstly, it doesn't require a hole punch to work, making it universal across the world. Secondly, it holds plastic sheets much stiffer than designs that use hole punches. This makes it compatible with multiple sizes of plastic sheets, including Letter (8.5"x11") and A4 (210mm x 297mm). The plastic sheets can be installed either landscape or portrait orientation. One of the standout features is the enclosed top version, which provides protection for the forehead. Additionally, a vented version is available. Behind-the-ear loops are based on the 3Dverkstan design and eliminate the need for elastic bands but provide an option to add one if desired. For those who want to customize the design or modify it to suit their needs, I've included the Fusion360 file and STEP file. The photos used show Letter size transparency sheets from Amazon (https://amzn.to/2wNIpG3). The face shields were printed using PETG for flexibility and sterilization purposes. Print time is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes with a 0.3mm layer height, four perimeters, and an 80mm/s print speed. I encourage you to optimize or remix this design to make it the best one out there!
