Respirator mask exhaust valve for 22mm socket

thingiverse

This is a versatile valve module designed to work seamlessly with an array of DIY respirator masks that lack built-in exhaust valves, mask converters, splitters, and other components which redirect exhaled air through the inhalation filter. The default socket size is 22mm, but it can be easily modified to accommodate various sizes or even integrated directly into a mask, subject to certain post-printing limitations. As part of its innovative design, this 9th iteration boasts an impressive level of adaptability, allowing it to work with multiple types of plastic without compromising print quality or requiring enhanced accuracy. To bring this module to life, you'll need a few essential materials: a piece of glass measuring 50mm in width, a 6mm glass bore (the default option), and a silicone tube sourced from your local hardware store – specifically, fish tank, neutral, or sanitary tubing is ideal for post-printing processing. Interestingly, this model can be easily modified to serve as an intake valve if needed.
