3D printing face shields for hospitals (COVID-19)
Donation protected
Hospitals are in dire need of masks and face shields for doctors and nurses, as standard issue N95 masks and face shields are unable to ship. Without masks and face shields, medical professionals are unable to treat victims without putting themselves in extremely dangerous situations, so it's recommended that they wear a mask at all times, and use a face shield when interacting with a patient.
We're raising money to help with the ongoing efforts to treat victims of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Using our own materials and printers, we have 3D printed and donated over 50 face shields so far and we need your help to print more. By attaching a laminate sheet to our 3D printed frame, we can create a functional and lightweight face shield without waiting for them to ship until mid-April.
Our goal is to do another 50-100 to help the cause. We will be using the funds to buy more laminate, headbands, and filament in order to make more shields and donating the rest of the money to the Atlantic Health System to help fund the treatment of COVID-19.
The situation is very urgent, and we need your help to continue flattening the curve. Thanks!
UPDATE: Thank you all so much contributing! Every dollar goes a long way in helping hospitals in need. Our original goal was $300 and we planned to donate anything extra to the Atlantic Health System Fundraiser, but seeing the community come together to raise $300 so quickly (less that 2 days!) made Michael and I realize we could make an even more significant impact than we originally hoped. We are raising the goal to $600 and maintaining our original plan. With this money, not only can we increase our output, but we can help even more hospitals in need with monetary donations as well. We have already donated our first batch to the Morristown Medical Center and our next destination is the Hackensack University Medical Center. Once again, your generosity has made all of this possible, and I’m excited to continue working towards helping these hospitals.
We also would appreciate any help 3D printing these face shields, so if you have a 3D printer and you wouldn’t mind using it to print face shields, please reach out to Michael and I by email and we’ll work with you to print more face shields.
