<p><h3>What Is It?</h3><br/> <hr class="connor-nogap" style="width:120px; max-width: 100%;"/><br/> <p style="margin-top: 0;">  The BaselineDesign Mask was developed to solve the many design flaws of a 3D printed mask while remaining just as easy and accessible to make. The design uses readily available two-part silicone poured into a simple 3D printed mold, that's it!<br/>  The design is being tested by two medical teams and so far the feedback has been very positive. Both noted that it's extremely comfortable (even more so than the standard N95) and has passed all fit tests since the Version 4 update<br/>  I recognize that the Idea of working with silicone can be quite daunting to someone who has never worked with it, I assure you it's incredibly easy to use! This project was my first time using liquid silicone and I learned a lot through the process. I tried to include anything important I learned into the instructions but for the most part it should be fairly straight forward. </p></p> <p><h3 class="w3-text-light-grey">Version 4 Improvements</h3><br/> <hr class="connor-nogap" style="width:270px; max-width: 100%;"/><br/> <p style="margin-top: 0;">  V4 introduces a lot of changes that make the mask much more effective while also making the mold much easier to use.<br/> <ul><br/> <h4>Major Improvements Include:</h4><br/> <li>Addition of a metal nose bridge pocket that significantly improves the masks' seal and broadens the number of people it will fit.</li><br/> <li>Button Hole elastic will now 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.</li></ul></p> </p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p><h3>IMPORTANT:</h3><br/> <b>Find print instructions, Bill of Materials, molding instructions, and user manual for the BaselineDesign Mask at the Project PPE website:</b></p> <p><a href="https://baselinedesign.co/projectppe">https://baselinedesign.co/projectppe</a></p>
