We need help fabricating face shields and surgical mask strain relievers.
### **Take Action**
Each face shield consists of just 2 parts: a 3D-printed frame and a transparent visor. For more info on the design, click [here](https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/).
If you have a 3D printer, print [face shield frames (stl)](https://github.com/raviriley/PPE-for-COVID19/blob/master/Face%20Shield/Face%20Shield%20Frame.stl) and [surgical mask strain relievers (stl)](/surgical%20mask%20strap%20strain%20relief.stl). Ideally print with PETG, if you can't PLA works just as well.
Read this [print guide](https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/protective-visor-print-guide/) for more details.
Printing face shield frames one at a time can be super time consuming, so if you want to 3D print stacks of face shields, check out my stack generator on [Thingiverse Customizer](https://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=4311414) or run its [OpenSCAD script](https://github.com/raviriley/PPE-for-COVID19/tree/master/Face%20Shield/3D%20Printing%20Stacks/Customizable%20stack%20generator) locally. I built this tool using my [STL to OpenSCAD converter](https://github.com/raviriley/STL-to-OpenSCAD-Converter). Scroll down to see a demo of the stack generator script.
If you have a laser cutter, cut [face shield visors](/Face%20Shield/Templates%20%26%20Laser%20Cutting%20files) from transparent 8.5x11" sheets, such as [this](https://www.amazon.com/CFS-Products-Inches-Binding-Covers/dp/B07SB6ZKBD) or [this](https://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Binding-Presentation-Covers-52089/dp/B0015ZVXIW/).
If you want to help out, please [](https://www.paypal.me/raviriley)
so we can buy more filament and plastic sheets. Thank you to our current donors for their contributions!
