Transparency Paper Shield Visor

thingiverse

This is a visor for a face shield that can be made with 3D printed parts and overhead/inkjet transparencies. Since COVID-19 hit, face shields are in short supply within the medical community. This design aims to fill this gap using cheap commonly available materials. TEST PIECE: Print the test piece first to ensure the "gap" used for transparency paper prints open without obstruction. Also print a few pegs to check if they fit well in the shield retention holes and stay in place. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Print out the frame (File name is face-shield-frame-v2.stl) and four pegs. 2. You may need to use an x-acto knife to gently cut/snap any very slightly fused plastic in the gaps that hold the transparency in place. 3. Insert a piece of 8.5x11 or A4 transparency paper into the frame slots. Use a marker to mark where the holes in the arms of the frame line up with the transparency. 4. Use a standard paper hole punch to punch out holes in the transparency, where you marked. 5. Re-insert transparency and use push-pegs to secure it into the frame. NOTE: The design is evolving. NOTE: This face shield remix comes from Zeoyn's design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4237274 Differences: Transparency retention system redesigned (multi-piece, but holds better) Arms curve inward for tighter fit Completely flat arms, for less overhangs v2: - Elongate the transparency channel slightly for a better fit - Front peg holes now fully go through the frame
