3D Printed Face Shields for Healthcare Workers
Donation protected
I'm raising funds to produce face shields for healthcare workers in the US wherever they are needed most in response to shortages related to fighting the COVID-19 virus.
There has been a major callout for those with 3D printers to start 3D printing face shields for healthcare workers. With all my 3D printing experience I can help this cause, but I need your help!
In the next few days I'll have the supplies to produce about 10 face shields per day at a cost of about $4/unit.
I've already started printing the frames and I have my first shipment of clear plastic sheets arriving in a day to start assembling them.
Until there is local need in South Carolina for these (hopefully there won't be), there are many outlets for donating these like the AFYA Foundation (https://afyafoundation.org/), masks for docs (https://masksfordocs.com/), and also the State of New York. If the need does arise more locally, I plan to hand deliver these where they will be accepted.
I've already purchased the first batch of materials to make at least 100 of these and I'm simply trying to cover material, shipping, and power costs to make these.
If I happen to exceed my $700 goal, I will continue to order supplies and "manufacture" these shields as long as there is a need.
