Please, if you come down with symptoms and suspect you have COVID-19 - please ensure that you inform the admin team ASAP, so that appropriate precautions can be made to destroy or quarantine the stock that you have already created. Review and ensure you follow the gov.uk advice on self-isolation.

I just got off a meeting with the other 3D Crowd (3dcrowd.uk) coordinators (I am coordinating for the North West).
I'm going to keep a record of comms. here to keep our local effort aligned with the national effort.
Takeaways:
They have an ordering and delivery system in place now which is starting to be used by coordinators and sub-teams.
DoES are probably the hub for the North West at this time.
After a period of a few days they have 190,000 ordered mainly from NHS addresses which gives an idea of the scale
They have a deal with DHL for free shipping to the central distribution hub but not to individual maker addresses at this time
We should probably merge the ordering system we spun up into the national system
They have 80,000 visors printed and are suppling them in batches of 40 to makers/makerspaces who need them
As we have a visor cutting capability we should probably not order those for ourselves unles we have to so as not to exhaust their stocks
Visor bottoms should be rounded off to remove sharp edges.
In general they advise against using OHP transparencies for makers who don't have a capability to cut them out properly (as it's fiddly, you can get cut etc.)
They are advising that people use PETG but people can use PLA, as these are supplied as single use visors used at the wearer's own risk, "better than nothing"
The army are in the process of setting up a 3D print farm of 200 printers doing the same as the rest of us
We want to reach out to the education communtiy but need to make the system solid first or risk being overwhelmed.
