3D Printed Face Shields for Cincy
Donation protected
The 3D Printed Face Shields for Cincy group unites Cincinnati and tri-state area 3D printing enthusiasts who pledge to donate their time and efforts to create, distribute, and donate free face shields to Cincinnati based hospitals and clinics.
The Problem: Some patients experience significant respiratory issues, resulting in coughing. Virus particles are easily spread in the fluids expelled from the patient during episodes of coughing.
A face shield is an additional barrier between the healthcare worker and the patient. Hospitals and clinics are running low or completely out of supply of face shields and have no choice but to treat infectious patients without a face shield to reduce exposure to airborne droplets and contagious body fluids.
Face shields can be easily created with 3D printers and other materials.
Our group has created and donated more than 1,000 face shields to Cincinnati area hospitals, clinics, and first-responders. Our co-founders were even featured in the local news.
Your donations will be used to purchase material for producing more face shields.
This includes:
⚫ 3D printing filament
⚫ Visor material
⚫ Elastic bands
⚫ Misc. Hardware, packaging, cleaners
Even if you don't have a 3D printer, you can contribute to our efforts. Will ya?
These materials will be used to create thousands of face shields, and we will be making and donating face shields as long as there is a need for them. Any remaining campaign funds will be donated to Charitable Health Network of Ohio to support free clinics.
