Mass-Producible 3D-Printed Face Shield

Rendering.Front.png

This Project is based on the following Design: thingiverse.com/thing:4233193

I made a mass-producible Face-Shield. It is lightweight, small and robust.

For 1 Face-Shield, you need: 1 A4 Acrylic Sheet, 1 Elastic Band

For Ender 3, Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 3, there are already prepared GCODEs for direct printing. For other Printers or quantities, you need to modify the Cura Settings. The Design is optimised for the use with Cura, other slicers are currently not supported/tested.

The File “10 x Face-Shields (Stacked).3mf” contains 10 already stacked Face-Shields with all parts needed. If you want to produce less than 10, just load the file into Cura and hold down CTRL and right-klick on the items you want to remove. Then hit DEL and the parts get deleted. After that, check the Settings in Cura (here under section “Print Settings”) and slice the model.

Info about the ready-to-print GCODEs:

10x for Ender 3, optimised: 1 day, 5 hours, 31 minutes, 260g

10x for Ultimaker 2, default: 23 hours, 25 minutes, 260g
