So forgive me if I'm not supposed to post anything on the subject of COVID-19 or I've put this in the wrong place but I have been hearing a lot about people 3d printing different things to help with the insane load from people in hospitals. I don't have a 3D printer but id like to share what some others in my town made to help cut down on materials for face masks to keep the medical professionals safe. 

 

https://www.billingsclinic.com/foundation/ so here is a place where you can download the mask design if your local hospitals feel its helpful then you can use your 3d printer to do a little to help... just wanted to spread this resource with the tech community as you all are more likely to have a 3D printer. 

 

Oh, and if you have any other free downloads for things like this, Please share! 

Don't Judge my spelling I'm dyslexic

Can i send this to my local university? They have i think 10 3d printers available and it could help the local hospital a lot. My 3d printer broke last month before the virus thing broke out and i thought i wouldn't use it for a while. Now that all shops are closed, i cant get parts and send it for repairs so ill just send this to the uni instead.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

I actually initially thought this was going to be face shields.

 

Could probably 3D print a decent headpiece to hold a clear plastic faceshield.

 

Just a thought.
