This is my first post, sorry if I miss some rules.
I made some face masks for the health care workers in my Area.
After seeing so many face masks made in a 3d printers I tried it out and it took 6 hours!
So I designed something similar to cut in the Glowforge and it took 3:45 minutes, So I started the production and made 80 in a day. Gave them to some doctors to test them and will make more if they would need them
I used MDF because SARS-COV2 remains viable longer on Plastic (acrylic) and steel than on cardboard, and MDF with all those resins is probably even more harmful to the virus.
I assembled it with an elastic strap doesn’t even need a knot, legal size clear plastic and an EVA strip for the forehead.
It is really cheap and I can make them really fast.
Thank you for sharing this. Can I ask what you mean by legal size plastic? Or can you share a link to where you purchased? I work in a hospital laboratory & am one of the people running the COVID-19 rapid tests for patients. We are in need of these. I’m hoping I can make some of these for my shift to try out.
In the US, “legal” is a paper size 3" longer than standard “letter”. It’s 216 × 356mm (vs. 216 x 279mm). There is no international equivalent, but standard A4-sized would be close.
Anything transparent works fine. The slot in the mdf can handle paper thin to 1mm thick.
I used what I had around.
Availability of certain materials is bad here in Bolivia.
