Protective Face Shield - Clips/no hole punch needed

prusaprinters

<p>This is a remix of the high speed print version of the Prusa Protective Face Shield. It uses 3d printed clips eliminating the need to punch holes in the plastic sheet.</p> <p>The clips are slid onto the frame over the plastic to hold it in place and can be slid to the side a little where the frame gradually widens to add more tension if needed.</p> <p>I also included an adapter to use regular elastic for the headband if you can't source the buttonhole elastic. The adapter is someone else's design that I can't remember where I sourced it from.</p> <p>As noted on the original Prusa Protective Face Shield design:</p> <p>If you want to manufacture shields for others<br/> PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY</p> <ul> <li><p>Act as if you were infected by the COVID-19 virus. Wear a face mask and a fresh pair of gloves when collecting each batch of printed parts. Store the parts immediately in a sealable bag.</p> </li> <li><p>Talk with whoever you’re making the shields for, let them know about your manufacturing environment</p> </li> <li><p>There is still debate about how long the virus survives on plastic, but most sources mention 2-3 days. That means that by letting the packed face shields sit for 2-3 days before distributing them, you’ll greatly reduce risk of transmission</p> </li> <li><p>Do not store the entire stock in one place, minimize the risk of cross contamination</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The frame takes about an hour to print with a 6mm nozzle, layer height at 0.3, and the line width set to 0.65.</p> <p>The clips need to be printed strong. I print these in PLA+ with a 4mm nozzle, layer height set to 0.25, and line width set to 0.5.</p>
