Description

Hey there, just wanted to give a few notes to you before you start redesigning and printing;

Feel free to remix, sell, donate, and distribute all of the included designs!

Slicer instructions:(IMPORTANT)

Once you have imported it into your slicer, scale it up to 1000% (CURA), and rotate it flat on its back!
If you have the bed space, try to print as many of these as you can! We all need these!

PM me or comment to share any recommendations or concerns!


My Info:
My Printer: Artillery Sidewinder X1
My Cad Software: Autodesk Inventor
My Slicer: Cura v4.6


NOTE: Make sure you use the most recent design, as many of the oldest drawings are unusable :)


Not Recommended At All:

Saver 1.0: Only there just in case anyone wants to remix my failed designs


Recommended:

Saver 2.3: Only the last design turned out to be successful (V.2.3), it is the most convenient design to print and remove from the bed, but holds mask bands a little too loosely


Saver 3.0: Is the most comfortable, hard to remove from bed, 1mm thick, holds mask the most securely ; easily bent.



Tested Print Settings:

2.0:
Layer Height: .2mm
Infill: 0%
Rafts: None
Supports: None

3.0:
Layer Height: .2mm
Infill: 0%
Rafts: None
Supports: None

My precut GCODE files are only made for Artillery Sidewinder X1 printer users, although it might also be compatible with the CR10 due to the same build volumes.
