Reusable Mask PPE Alternative (MalaMask)

thingiverse

Please note this mask project is formally defined as a "Reusable Mask with one-time use filters, tested at N95 filter specs". Be aware that to be fully NIOSH approved, a full mask + filter must be tested together to get the rating. We are focused on getting masks to people who need them ASAP and putting resources toward the aspects needed short-term for someone to make an informed safety decision. Our main focus is filters that could be put in any mask that seals to the face and only allows air flow in and out through the filter. The project involves not just 3D printing masks but also using commonly found materials to create a respirator filter tested at N95 requirements (0.3 micron tolerance) as a temporary solution until supply meets demand. A lot of research has gone into this project. Check the resources below.
