Process

Print the frame for the face shield
Attach PVC, PETG or Poly carbon shield –> can use conventional transparent A4 foil used as book cover
Use a conventional hole punch for the four holes –> set the hole punch to A6, then punch two holes into the plastic sheet, turn the sheet and punch from the other side the other two holes –> this ensures the correct distance between all four holes
Attach rubber band or strap to the side fixture

If you want to manufacture shields for others

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY

***Act as if you were infected by the COVID-19 virus. Wear a face mask and a fresh pair of gloves when collecting each batch of printed parts. Store the parts immediately in a sealable bag.

***Talk with whoever you’re making the shields for, let them know about your manufacturing environment

***There is still debate about how long the virus survives on plastic, but most sources mention 2-3 days. That means that by letting the packed face shields sit for 2-3 days before distributing them, you’ll greatly reduce risk of transmission

***Do not store the entire stock in one place, minimize the risk of cross contamination

Hope this helps!
