A simple frame for a face shield. Instructions: https://imgur.com/gallery/D79BKFx Video instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb01Zu3xlmk This design is built to print quickly, and works with any printer. Use PLA first, but ABS will also do the job. Take a piece of transparent plastic (like a transparency sheet) and slide it into the gap after temporarily expanding the two outer arcs with your hand. Then smooth it out flat. You can secure it in place using your preferred method, or rely on friction to keep it in position. This design is intended to be easy to print quickly, and simple to resize. It should work well on older printers too. If your printer has been running nonstop lately, and it's gotten off calibration, print it with a raft to get things back on track. Otherwise, you can skip the raft. The idea here is that any piece of transparent plastic will do the job. There's now also a stackable version so you can leave your printer on overnight and get multiple copies; just separate them with a wire cutter or x-acto knife. The stackable version should be printed with a raft to ensure it holds together properly.
