Thingiverse
This is a clip for any type of face mask that uses elastic that would normally go behind the ears. Currently, during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, many medical and emergency services personnel are wearing masks for upwards of 12-18 hours a day, and the elastic is often leaving the backs of their ears raw. This pulls the pressure of the elastic bands from behind the ear to the back of the head.This is a first draft of the part. There are no sharp edges to snag a person or to wear on the elastic. The top (as printed) is also slightly concave to hopefully make it slightly more comfortable on the back of the head.I'll update this as I get feedback from folk using them. I've also included the Fusion 360 file if you'd like to make your own changes.At 0.20mm layers, 15% infill, with a 0.4 nozzle, each uses ~2.5g of filament (not much at all) and can be printed in ~10 minutes.
