Prusa Face Shields

Maker Community COVID-19 Projects

Face Shields are also being requested by medical institutions. Unsure if DHMC or local hospitals have a need. Anyone aware?
Here is the open source design being used at other local makerspaces. Chatted with folks at MakeIt Labs today and they have offered CMS to be connected with their supply chain to acquire necessary supplies to make these.
More info on the project can be found here:

I’ve printed a couple tests of Prusa’s and another design (without the open gaps). Sent an email to see if there’s interest, but nothing yet. The maker space in southern NH is working with local medical folks/suppliers to see what can be done. I emailed them to be notified if there’s more I can do.

Here’s the other design. It doesn’t need the bottom stiffener and they have models that can use standard US paper punch for the holes:

Also, is anyone aware of a place to source the material for the laser cut parts of the face shields? Do they necessarily need to be laser cut, or could they be cut with blade?

Thanks-

Hi Brendan,

I’ve been in contact someone at DHMC and they’re checking with the safety experts on these type of printed shields.

Hi Jerry
I believe that Trevor at Revolve 3D in WRJ is also in touch with them and other local hospitals, he has printed the printable components of these when / if they need them.

Cool! All kinds of great 3d resources in our area.
