Description

This submission is a new version of visor for face shields that provide most coverage on top to medical workers' faces, and eyes eliminating as much air contamination as possible.  This design also cuts down the print time by up to estimate 60-75% comparatively to PRUSA and BUDMAN visors. The new version also uses the minimal amount of material: 1 visor only uses approximately 24g of filament which a spool of 1 kg can print about 40 pieces to make it as efficient from a spool as possible. Again, this design can protect bacterial projectiles along with minimizing 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.

The template for cutting slits on the shield is provided. It is for 9X12 for now.  If any other sized needed or questions, please email: nickwuprintsppe@gmail.com

Happy to be part of a community providing PPE for medical workers.

*The 1st version has been used in Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, one of the hardest-hit area in New York City.*
