Because the Copper3D Website is constantly down / offline due to the high demand I I temporarily re-upload the STL’s of the Facemask Here!

NANOHACK, THE OPEN SOURCE RESPIRATOR MASK
NanoHack was inspired by a great global pandemic. The most radical innovations are born from crises, which is why NanoHack is a unique design.
Quotes From Copper3D:
” #HackThePandemic
Hospitals around the world are close to running out of N95 masks in the middle of the worst pandemic of XXI century! Our purpose as a company has always been related to making a positive impact and tackle #GlobalChallenges through #Innovation, #Nanotechnology and #AntimicrobialMaterials. Our purpose leads us to solve this problem in a low-cost, quick, and descentralized way through #DistributedManufacturing. We propose a #Reusable, #Customizable, #Modular, #Antimicrobial and #Antiviral #3Dprinted #RespiratorSystem made with #Copper3D high quality nanocomposite #PLACTIVE.
Let’s HACK this #Pandemic with #Nanotech, #ActiveMaterials, #3DPrinting and #DistributedManufacturing. “
” Basically, there is a breakdown in the global stock of this product, and it is a basic necessity, especially for Healthcare personnel who are at the forefront of fighting this disease. In many countries the authorities have also recommended the use of these masks (or similar) on public transport. These masks, despite being effective, also have some problems such as a short lifecycle (about 8 hours), and have another even more serious problem. Respiratory viruses, specifically SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) can live up to 72 hours on different surfaces. This is a problem since using a conventional mask, at the end of the day we would have a high viral/bacterial load trapped within millimeters of our nose and mouth, further exposing ourselves to these dangerous microbes. “
-
Print the pieces with 20% infill, without support or rafts.
-
Heat the NanoHack to 55º-60º C with a hairdryer or hot water. The circular part has to be intact, that’s why it’s thicker so that it doesn’t deform.
-
When softening, bring together the nose wings and adjustment wings located on the lower jaw. You can glue them to fix them better if you want
-
Heat it up again and put it on your face for final adjustments. Make sure it’s not too hot! If you feel that there is some part of the mask that does not fit well or is too tight, you can put a small piece of soft rubber in the contact areas.
-
Screw the “cover” on with one or two additional filters. If you use a filter, you can use a circular piece (single or double) of a conventional mask (nonwoven propylene) or add a round facial cotton pad for makeup. Half pad can make breathing easier.
-
Add the elastics/straps.
- Use…
