Help me make PPE for key workers
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I am setting up this Go Fund Me page for anyone who will like to donate money to purchase the raw materials needed to create Face Shields or ear savers to key workers during this difficult time.
As you are aware the NHS/Key workers are currently lacking PPE, these are the very people that risk their lives and their family members to help save others, Those that know me, for the majority of my career I have worked with the NHS and they have also saved my life in the past and provided great care to my family.
The fund will be used to buy 1kg rolls of PLA filament which will make around 40-50 head bands and also to purchase acetate/clear binder covers which will clip onto the head band to provide additional protection to the wearer.
This will help protect the wearer whole face and also act as a preventative measure to stop the wearer touching their face which as humans we do naturally.
Another accessory I have been printing are ear savers, these are used to protect the ears of key workers that are constantly wearing the surgical mask for long periods of time and is causing discomfort to their ears by connecting the strap to the ear saver which sits on the back of the wearers head.
I have currently been funding this myself and have so far donated 126 face shields and 65 ear savers to BHR NHS Trust who have picked these up on Wednesday 15th April from my address to deliver to Queens Hospital for clinicians currently dealing with patients with COVID-19.
I plan to continue making more for key workers and will update here as I go.
These are being created from a Creality Ender 5 3d Printer and takes around 16 hours to make a stack of 10 head bands.
I currently have 2 machines running day and night to create these and I am considering purchasing another to help speed up production if needed,
All funds raised will be used to buy raw materials needed to produce these and any amount leftover will be donated to a charity.
Further details around the head band design can be found here and you can also contribute to key workers in your area by printing the STL file:

Take care everyone and stay safe! X
