I’m working with some folks on a project to 3D print a ton of face shields for Charlotte hospitals during the COVID-19 crisis, but I figured there has to be a faster and cheaper way. I worked something out with parts I had in the garage and it costs pennies to make. it even adjusts so you can lift it up or lower it down over your face.
What you’ll need:
- Plastic (Polypropylene) plumbers hanging tape (for pipes)
- Pop rivet gun with 5 pop rivets (1/8″ x 1/8″ aluminum works fine)
- Clear plastic material. Some Commenters on the Prusa site are recommending using Standard sized Clear laminator pouches (or you can use 11×17 pouches to add a shield at the top to prevent droplets falling in from the top), just leave them empty and send them through the laminator to make them clear and thick enough. You can use 12″x12″ PETG sheets but the Prusa design mentioned Laminator
Drill a hole with a drill bit or a utility knife (drill with the knife by spinning it, don’t cu ta hole or it will tear and be weak)
It’s adjustable.
