I remixed this Reusable Emergency Respiratory Mask after printing dbeck’s version. I was having a hard time keeping that version together so I remixed some 3D printed rivets and now it works great, no sewing required! Be safe out there these are made as a last resort and to save the real N95 masks for the people that really need them.
I printed the washer at 105% to fit the rivet snugly, you can remove the washer and put it back on and it stays.
I remixed the frame so that the rivet goes all the way through the frame. I also added some holes for elastic. I found that you can also wrap the elastic around the back of the washer once it is in place.
The version in the picture is 4 plys of Starbuck’s napkins to make the filter for the respirator mask, the Starbuck’s napkins breathe well. the mask is comfortable, I tried a handkerchief one day and that was not comfortable, so I went back to trying to make this easier to make and I think it worked out because after the 3D printing I am able to build one of these in less than 10 minutes without sewing.
Thanks dbeck and jtagen
