An issue of great magnitude surfaced: the global shortage of N95 masks, procedure masks, and PPE, which are desperately needed by just about everyone, especially caregivers on the frontlines of COVID-19.

Like many concerned citizens, we wanted to help flatten the curve and stop the spread, so we created A Mask For All.

Developed by a team of experts to be easily 3D printable, this face mask was created to provide quick and easy access to anyone with a 3D printer and their communities. This mask is reusable and contains a filter insert for many different types of easily available filter media can be used and disposed.

This design requires no support structures.

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS (READ BEFORE PRINTING!):

Everyone’s face has slightly different proportions. We have three different sizes depending on the size of your face. In order to determine your face size, you’ll need to measure the distance indicated in the attached images and scale your model accordingly. If you’re using a tape measure, hold one end to the tape measure to the crest of your nose. Place your thumb on the tape measure where it contacts the bottom of your chin. Then, you can move the tape measure away from your face and see the distance indicated by your thumb’s position on the tape measure.

The sizes are:

SMALL: Less than 105mm (less than 4-1/8 inch)

MEDIUM: 105-115mm (4-1/8 inch to 4-1/2 inch

LARGE: Greater than 115 mm (4-1/2inch)

Everyone’s nose is shaped differently as well. If you have a gap around the nose, it can be filled with a soft liner or the nose section of the mask can be dipped in boiling water for a few seconds. Once removed from the water, the nose section can be pinched or pulled to re-mold the mask. Upon cooling in a few seconds, it will return to it’s rigid structure.
