Description

Currently there has been a huge effort in 3d printed face shields with dozens of different design variations. However, there is a huge bottleneck in finding the raw material for the shield and custom cutting it to fit it into their unique design.

The 3d printed design i am proposing allows us to utilize the 8.5" X 11" transparecy film instead that is easily available in the market, a rubber band and a clip. The transparency can be modified either using technology or simply scissors which entails simply rounding the bottom corner.

There is an option to either use binder clips or 3D printed clips. This visor is faster to print because it does not have 'temple' which wastes lot of space during printing. It takes less than 30 seconds to assemble.
