Cheapest, fastest, and easiest Face Shield (Cost me only pennies) #34

After my 3d printer failed midway through both versions of the Prusa prints, I determined there's a much easier way to build these facemasks and much cheaper and faster as well. I modeled it after a commercial facemask with stuff I had in my garage. I used Plastic hanging tape (polypropylene) some pop rivets and while I didn't have the correct type of plastic, I had a good stand-in material. If we use 11x17 laminator pouches this design costs a few cents each. I documented here with text and video: http://sheekgeek.org/2020/adamsheekgeek/cheapest-and-fastest-covid-19-face-shield

Nice job!

I'm wondering the same if we used strips of PETG, say two on the front, two behind it a bit, just like the 3d printed part, if we could attach everything. I'm trying to figure out fastening, rivits, even when used from the inside, would leave the inside okay, but have a fair bit of stub sticking out that could catch something. It's in the right direction though, for sure.

This is great -- Jeremy, if I can scrounge those materials around the house, I may play around with it. Duct tape be a simply Macgyver on that problem.
