Our team ( a member and a junior mentor) joined the NYC makes PPE team, https://nycmakesppe.com
The worldwide 3D printing community came with two basic models for face shields.
the fast only 40 min https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/
and the more reliable 4h PRUSA Model (EU and US version that only use PVC transparent binders and a regular 3 hole puncher)
They printed both and they noticed that PRUSA was often considered more reliable by the healthcare providers, but for NY the main issue is time.
If you have more than 50 3Dverkstan North America V3 headbands and you want to donate them to NYCMakesPPE (nycmakesppe.com), please follow the following instructions:
1. You must wear full PPE (masks and gloves) while manufacturing and handling each part.
2. Please bag each individual part, or at least 2~5 parts, immediately in a sealed, airtight bag (e.g. ziplock). This ensures that no contamination occurs during transit, and that if contamination does occur, the entire batch is not compromised.
3. Please “tag” each bag (e.g. sharpie on it) with the date and time at which the part inside was manufactured. This allows us to use the part after a 2~3 day buffer to avoid contamination.
