Quick Print Easy Ear Saver

thingiverse

This is an innovative ear saver designed with practicality in mind, offering a sleek solution for users who crave ease and speed when putting on face masks. I created this design because I was tired of using cumbersome ear savers that were slow to print, took up too much space on my build plate, and weren't comfortable to wear. With the right print settings, one of these ear savers can be printed in just 20 minutes, and my Prusa mk3 build plate can accommodate a whopping 20 units at once. I'm still experimenting with stacking them, but it's definitely a possibility. Here are the key features that make this ear saver stand out: 1. Efficient packing: By designing the ear savers to be more compact, I've reduced the need for human interaction during printing, minimizing downtime. 2. Easy donning: With only one point of contact required on each side, putting on these ear savers is a breeze. 3. Ergonomic design: The curved shape fits snugly against the head, eliminating pressure points and making it more comfortable to wear. 4. Safe edges: I've carefully designed the face mask elastics with no sharp corners, ensuring user safety. 5. Adjustable fit: These ear savers offer the same level of adjustability as popular designs on the market. The flat headband is intentionally designed to be flexible, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit.
