Awesome Project!
It is great that you uploaded the STL files onto your site so that others can use the version that works for you!
During these tough times, many have decided to join the fight against the coronavirus, primarily through the making of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). However, we realize that not everyone has access to the same resources, so we created PRINT4OURLIVES, the first comprehensive program that allows anyone to join the fight against COVID-19! Our program provides users with three options:
Using our custom STL. file, users can print face shields to donate to hospitals. Our design, based off of feedback from clinics and hospitals, is the ultimate compromise between user comfort, durability, and print speed. Furthermore, we provide detailed instructions (including links to supplies) to assemble the masks!
If a user does not have a 3D printer, they can choose to make a donation to help fight COVID-19. The donations go directly to the World Health Organization.
A user can also choose to leave an encouraging message for the frontline medical staff. These messages are formatted, printed, and delivered to hospitals all around the country along with the face shield shipments. This is a super easy way for anyone to contribute to the cause!
We have amassed over 7500 site visits, 250 STL file downloads, and 100 monetary donations at the time of writing. Combining the efforts of individuals around the world, our program has donated over 2000 pieces of PPE to care centers, clinics, and hospitals in need! Participating in any of these opportunities will have a direct and profound impact on your own community; a few minutes of your time can save countless lives!
There are a lot of things you can still do to join in on the fight against COVID-19! You could visit PRINT4OURLIVES and make a donation to the Coronavirus fund, or simply leave a note of appreciation for our medical staff!
You can find all this information on the Resources page of PRINT4OURLIVES!
Absolutely! Printing shields takes about five minutes of your time, and the printer does the rest! Making a donation to the COVID fund is similarly easy. Leaving a note of appreciation for frontline medical staff will take less than a minute, but could turn someone's day around! Please stop by PRINT4OURLIVES to check out all the ways you can help!
