3D-printed protective visor

#3DVFaceShield

This is our first attempt to try helping our heroes helping people sick and in need. There is a shortage of protective gear for doctors and nurses, so we've designed a frame for holding standard sized plastic sheets. Quick to print, easy to assemble. We are so grateful for all the support and downloads we have had globally - and we will keep this going as long as we need to.

 If you already have a 3D-printer and would like to help too, here´s where you find the QUICK LINKS for printfiles and settings to make it easier. Some of the most common questions we are getting are regarding stacked versions, access to source files and how to print on a smaller printer. We have included the current answers to this FAQ page.

The visor is tested and approved by staff all over the world but there are a lot of different regulations regarding medical supplies, please make sure to follow authority guidelines that applies within your region.

We are well aware of the great technical knowledge within the 3D-printing community but please note that safety comes first and medical equipment always needs to be approved to be distributed, this could possibly be a matter of life or death. We refer to this article about safety recommendations from 3DPrint.com
