Prusa Face Shield (modified)

Firstly, print the Prusa file in 3D. We chose not to use the reinforcement from the bottom part that exists in the original project. It was a request from the medical team, simplifying and accelerating printing and assembly, and it's a piece that complicates hygiene. Since we're using PETG 0.75mm filament, the visor is well-shaped without needing the part. We cut the visors on a VESTA laser cutting machine, which has an area of 100x60cm. However, we're dividing the original PETG sheet of 1x2m into 8 sheets of 50x50cm. This way, 4 visors are cut at once with good material utilization. Be careful when cutting materials to be laser-cut, PVC and other chlorinated-based transparent materials are extremely toxic and corrosive. In such cases, the visor will be cut on a hydraulic press. The final assembly involves simply adding a strong elastic band and snapping it into place in the printed piece, taking care not to damage any parts.
