Open Source Protective Face Shield Designs
The current global pandemic has spurred many people to search for ways to help support the overstretched medical system and many designs for personal protective equipment can now be found online, with examples ranging from 3D printed masks, to replacement respirator parts and Venturi valves, to DIY face shields.
Prusa Research has released this open source face shield (adapted from this original design) which anyone with access to the right tools can manufacture themselves.
In this guide, we’ll show how you can make this design with a 3D printer and a 2 Liter PET bottle or two (3 L may work even better if you can get one!) in case you do not have a laser cutter or Cricut vinyl/craft cutter.
