Protective Face Shield - MNv2

prusaprinters

<p>The maker community's response to the PPE shortage has been incredible. In a matter of days, efforts around the world popped up.</p> <p>Locally I've been working with a maker space in Minneapolis, Minnesota called "Nordeast Makers." They are leading the effort in Minneapolis and have been coordinating designs with CentraCare Health to get a shield approved for local use.</p> <p>As part of the effort, I put my Fusion 360 knowledge to use and after many iterations this is the v1 of our collaboration to create a comfortable and durable visor for local healthcare workers. Dubbed MNv1-1 (MinnesotaV1), if we update the design, I will name them v2, v3, etc. UPDATE: April 18th, 2020. V2 has been uploaded. It makes some minor changes to increase comfort.</p> <p>Edit: By request, I added versions that have raised letters saying PLA and PETG. Let me know if there are requests for other filaments.</p> <p>We wanted to keep the frame light but also wanted a lip that allowed for weather stripping (or foam) to create a buffer between the forehead and the plastic. The design also kept a rounded front, minimizing gaps at the top.</p> <p>This model was heavily inspired by the awesome design by 3DVerkstan. It also took influences from the wonderful designs by Prusa Research, Adafruit, and Stratasys.</p> <p>The plastic shield assembly uses the 3 hole punch method, with a 1" offset on center, for a total of 6 holes. It follows the 3DVerkstan method for the 6 hole version of their North American design.<br/> <a href="https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/protective-visor-versions/">https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/protective-visor-versions/</a></p> <p>If you're interested in getting involved in your area, check out Masks For Docs Slack Channel. There are local channels all over the world.</p> <p>This model was made from scratch in Fusion 360 and is free for non-commercial use.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>For best results, print with a .20mm layer height, 5 shells, and 20% infill. There are two STLs, one is a single visor and the other is two rotated to fit on a single build plate.</p>
