Snorkeling Mask Adapter PPE (COVID19)

thingiverse

Hi all seeing such pandemic around the world due to Covid-19, here I am contributing what I can on an idea of a make-do mask for personal use with slight enhanced protection from a Decathlon snorkeling mask to protect yourself and your family. Feel free to use it, I hope it helps. Original STL files are available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wcu9C8O0DaL8YCG5XbGZz0UbcrA-ZRxn Original Facebook publication can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/poheng.chiu/posts/3086083984768303 I understand there are some comments and concerns over 3D printed masks and related products. I believe this design is relatively safe because the snorkeling mask provides full face protection, preventing users from rubbing their eyes or touching their faces. The mold across the face also creates fewer tiny grooves for viruses to latch onto. Although, the 3D printed part does have layer lines, located at the top of the head, these tend to be less exposed to direct sneezes or coughs. To minimize imperfections during printing, you can increase the temperature and use a larger layer height to reduce grooves. Feel free to provide feedback; let me know if you'd like to improve my design. Stay safe everyone!
