https://github.com/ctrlh/personal-protective-equipment/tree/master/Face%20Shield (https://github.com/ctrlh/personal-protective-equipment/tree/master/Face%20Shield) Origami Face Shield version 2.0 with Elastic Strap Modification This design is cut out of 5-20 mil rigid clear plastic sheeting and uses non-latex rubber or elastic bands to provide tension around the back of the head. Shield assembly illustrated here (https://github.com/ctrlh/personal-protective-equipment/blob/master/Face%20Shield/v2.0_Origami_Instructions.pdf) and band installation demonstrated here (https://github.com/ctrlh/personal-protective-equipment/blob/master/Face%20Shield/elastic.origami.gif). For our laserable clear sheeting, we used polyester (PET), but many types of clear plastic are suitable for this application (polyester/mylar, acetate, PET). However, always make sure that the plastic is compatible with your laser cutter before use. First Responders and Medical Professionals please use this form (https://pdxhackerspace.org/request-ppe.html) to request PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) donations Origami Face Shield Production Instructions Sanitize your workspace. Download the design files. Assembly Instructions Origami assembly approximated here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY7l819OARc) Working from the inside of the mask, slide each side of your headband through the larger shield slot on each side. Next thread the headband arrow tab back through the second smaller slot on each side of the shield. thread a looped piece of elastic or rubber bands through the hole on the inside of each headband end (thread loops from inside to outside) then wrap each side of the band around each hook.

Donate to first responders and hospitals! (US Instructions) The correct contact flow for identifying first responder and hospital needs is through (ESF15) Emergency Management Joint Information Center. For PDX Hackerspace (Multnomah County) it's https://multco.us/em/emergency-management-contact-information (https://multco.us/em/emergency-management-contact-information) Updated 3/22/2020 - drop-off points for Multnomah County (https://www.myoregon.gov/2020/03/19/medical-professionals-asked-to-donate-surplus-ppe/?fbclid=IwAR2NB61SkEIvVmJIJs4YR7h7PvNmgK6z7GaP1kakN_UZAFjI-Oq7X_tPQ1Y) Additional Source: How to Donate PPE in Oregon (https://www.myoregon.gov/2020/03/19/medical-professionals-asked-to-donate-surplus-ppe) Production Notes This model is designed to fit on smaller laser beds for distributed production where needed locally.
