Reusable Face Mask (w/ disposable filter)

cults3d

Challenged to create a stylish mask, I wondered what a Bruce Wayne design might look like. 3D printed frame, pleated disposable paper filter pattern (vacuum bag, coffee filter, whatever) held in place with rare earth magnets. Short of N95, it functions about the same as surgical mask - protects against splash and large particulate. I went complete Dark Knight stealth - no right angles. And, yes Mr. Wayne - it does come in black. For use with 3 cm x 2 cm rare earth magnets. I placed small strip of 3mm craft foam under the nose bridge for added comfort as well as Plastidip (latex spray) around the ear pieces. I left the temple pieces extended to accommodate various lengths from temple to ears. Modify the model as needed or you can bend them to better fit with a heat gun. Using a #4 coffee filter with pattern attached. Hold the circles to the top corners of the front clasp, making sure that the fold is centered and filter us under the nose bridge. Attach the clasp/filter to the frames. Adjust the tension by lightly pulling on the side flaps of the filter.
