Description

This is a 3D printable frame for a face shield that you complete by attaching ordinary clear plastic food wrap to. It actually has several advantages over the standard rigid face shields. It covers a larger area. It does not fog up. It can be made entirely from 3D printable components and does not require a source of clear plastic other than commonly available plastic wrap. If it becomes contaminated, you simply remove the plastic wrap and dispose of it and then replace the plastic wrap. IT is also possible to adjust eyeglasses or lightly rub the face through the flexible plastic wrap without actually touching the face or glasses.
