Description

3D printed face mask designed for easy filter replacement and complete disassembly for cleaning. The modular design allows for user to quickly change the attachment method (elastic straps, rubber bands, elastic tubing, etc.) by swapping the single MOD Ring component. This design allows for use with whatever supplies are available and has a large mouth opening for breathability with different filter materials. Only one MOD Ring is available now for use with elastic strap materials.

Please see Instructions for Use for assembly informations and other required components.

Additional MOD Ring designs will be uploaded here but feel free to design your own as you see fit (.sldprt file is uploaded, additional 3D file types are available at request).

WARNING

"This device is a general purpose face mask intended for use in the community and is not suitable for use by a healthcare professional or in a healthcare facility or environment, as described in FDA Guidance Enforcement Policy for Face Masks and Respirators During the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency, Section V B. This device has not been tested to assess the out-gassing limits of the material or their corresponding health effects."

 

DO NOT USE in place of approved masks if they are still available and use at your own risk. This is a concept for emergency use only and as a last resort. It does not replace approved masks. Use as you see fit, with no guarantees.

 

This tutorial shows how to make a high filtration mask from blue surgical tray material called Halyard H600, though doing so is not endorsed by the company or guaranteed.
