Silicone Mask V4: BaselineDesign

thingiverse

<h3>What's Behind It?</h3> <p>The BaselineDesign Mask was created to fix the many design flaws of a 3D printed mask, yet remain just as easy and accessible to make. The design uses readily available two-part silicone poured into a simple 3D printed mold – that's all!</p> <p>The design is being tested by two medical teams and so far, their feedback has been extremely positive. Both noted that it's incredibly comfortable (even more than the standard N95) and has passed all fit tests since the Version 4 update.</p> <p>I acknowledge that working with silicone can seem intimidating to someone who hasn't worked with it before – but I assure you, it's very easy to use! This project was my first time using liquid silicone and I learned a lot through the process. I've included anything important I learned into the instructions, making them fairly straightforward.</p> <h3>Version 4 Enhancements</h3> <p>V4 introduces many changes that make the mask much more effective while also making the mold easier to use.</p> <h4>Key Improvements Include:</h4> - The addition of a metal nose bridge pocket significantly improves the mask's seal and broadens the number of people it will fit. - Button Hole elastic will no longer slip off the mask buttons thanks to the addition of 3D printed buckles. These buckles should also allow for a much broader range of elastic to be used. <h1>Important:</h1> <h3>Find print instructions, Bill of Materials, molding instructions, and user manual for the BaselineDesign Mask at the Project PPE website:</h3><br> <h3><a href="https://baselinedesign.co/projectppe">https://baselinedesign.co/projectppe</a></h3>
