Appreciate the information - I'm well aware that bigger nozzles and modified settings can increase print speed - the print farm has shifted to other designs and materials a couple times now since the completion of filming, and it's a constant game of optimization. The current demand for my time right now is moving the print farm into shelving units to vertically stack them, as well as laser cutting new spool racks to handle the 2.3kg spools of PLA we're bringing in from Mitsubishi Chemicals (375kg of filament coming in). We ended up shipping approx 850 sets of the prusa face shield design to Inksmith, but we're currently printing Ear-Savers by the thousands.
We intend on pivoting to helping Tinkerine (local educational 3D printer manufacturer) to produce their design of a face shield soon, as they have received their medical device certification. Once we have verified the plan is up to our standards we will be printing parts for that. That certification goes a long, long way to getting these shields into the hands of the medical professionals that need them safely and efficiently.
We are constantly evaluating where we can help the most and doing our best to be helping as effectively as possible, in whatever way we can.
