<p>Please read Prusa Research's original post "Prusa Protective Face Shield - RC3" for all best printing practices around sanitation before printing!</p> <p>Prusa Protective Face Shield - RC3 (Remixed for more reliable printing on not perfectly calibrated printers and jigs for fabrication using hand drills and kitchen shears instead of a laser cutter)</p> <ul> <li>Outside geometry has been slightly changed to allow for faster printing speeds while keeping the correct radius of the face shield (~13% faster print times)</li> <li>For San Francisco Bay Area have sourced a local plastic supplier:<br/> -<a href="https://www.tapplastics.com/about/locations/detail/san_francisco_ca">https://www.tapplastics.com/about/locations/detail/san_francisco_ca</a><br/> -24" x 48" x 0.02" clear polycarbonate sheet<br/> -Modified design to use a 8" x 8" face shield for 0 waste fabrication<br/> -Can cut 8" squares using kitchen shears or strong scissors<br/> -Filet bottom two corners<br/> -Designed drill jigs to create holes using a hand drill instead of needing a laser cutter<br/> -Pilot hole with 5/64" bit, then drill actual hole with 1/4" bit for top and 3/16" bit for bottom</li> <li>Option with holes or no holes (no holes uses slightly more material but will print slightly faster)</li> <li>Uses original "bottom_reinforcement" file (which I have also uploaded on this page)</li> <li>Printed with 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.25 mm layer height, 60 mm/s print speed, and 30% infill</li> <li>As Prusa recommends, use PETG filament if possible</li> </ul> <p>*Still a work in progress, designs may change</p>
