Description

Quick overview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SQRhqv9Hkw

3D-printed face mask, designed to use HEPA filter pads from CPAP machines. The smooth design is easier to clean than similar removable-filter masks. The use of a simple "slot" for filter pads reduces the number of moving parts that are difficult to clean and may fail over time.

2 sizes - Large (Men's) and Small (Women's)
