Description

Over the past few days, we’ve been collaborating directly with a hospital to build a 3D-printable respirator mask with the following requirements: Reliable seal around the face, even when moving around Uses HEPA filters Allows physicians to breathe easily Allows communication without being overly muffled Easy to print Reasonably comfortable for long periods of time Incorporates large straps for security and comfort Feasible to deploy from the community to the hospital in large numbers Basic Parts/Supplies 3D Printer, Filament Elastic straps HEPA Filter ( non-coated ) Squishy gasket (we found this rubber foam gasket (https://www.frostking.com/products/weatherstripping/rubber-foam-weatherseal-5-year-guarantee) that’s super squishy and perfect. We contacted Frost King who said it’s non-latex, but call and double-check for yourself.)
