Description

This version of Verkstan's visor has several changes from the original. The entire visor has been redesigned and model from scratch so there will be variances in widths, curves, length, ect. when compared to the original. We re-made this model to better support our local community in our efforts to help the workers on the front lines. Below there is a list of main modifications with their intentions.

 

Changes

  •  Added a cut near the forehead shield joints to allow the solid printing of visors to flex and not snap at the stress location. We've had reports of numerous bands breaking at the junction point between the band and the forehead shield.
  • Junction point where band meets the forehead shield has been rounded slightly to relieve some of the stress over an area rather than to one point.
  • Studs for holding on the face shield has been made smaller and more circular to match a hole punch. Due to variances in printers and qualities of prints, the transparency sheet holes were often forced onto the stud. This caused tearing and wasting of sheets.
  • Ear protector hook has been added to the band to allow workers to attach their masks to, helping to relieve the stress on their ears.
  • Moved the bevel to the other side of the print on the stack version. This allowed us to print the visor in a different orientation along with having a smaller footprint printed on to a larger area, rather than the reverse.
  • Pry grooves have been added to the stack version. This facilitates the use of a flat head screw driver to pry the stacks a part with ease. The forehead shield was the hardest part to separate and would sometimes cause breaking at the junction point of the band. This change alleviated these issues.
