Description

This submission is a version of visor for face shields that provide more coverage on top to medical workers' faces, and eyes are a lot less exposed from airflow.  This design also cuts down the print time by up to estimate 75% comparatively to PRUSA and BUDMAN visors. As well as using the minimal amount of material: 1 screen only uses approximately 17 g of filament which a spool of 1 kg can print between 50-58 pieces which minimize the cost of raw material. I find that this design can protect bacterial projectiles along with cutting down maximum airflow from the top with work simultaneously with PPE masks and goggles. This design is to utilize what the supplies makers have to be most efficient as well as provide more coverage in protection for the medical personals.
