Campaign Story
There is a critical shortage of medical PPE at the moment and even as the pandemic worsens supplies are dwindling. Medical institutions around the country have reached out to the 3d printing community for help and support in overcoming the shortages caused by overwhelmed production infrastructure designed around high volume/low cost but often struggles to scale to changing demand and many factories have been out right closed down by the situation in China.
As a result a more desperate approach is needed- the production
of functional shields to protect medical workers that can be produced by
anyone with the raw materials and a 3d printer, and thanks to Joseph
Prusa we have just such a design. we have makers from across the country
currently donating their print time and their materials to produce
these shields, we have hospitals across the country asking for supplies
but we only have so much material on hand and can only afford so much to
donate to produce these. and so this is where this campaign comes in!
we are looking for support to allow us to cover the cost of materials
and transport of these masks where ever they are needed, each kilo of
filament can, on average, print around 20 face shield frames, each kilo
of petg filament costs on average around £20 per spool even now we have
orders for 70, 100, 800- shields to be delivered asap, we need filament,
we need elastic and plastic sheets for the visors and with your help we
can afford this! we can keep our NHS staff healthy, they should never
have to work without vital PPE (Personal Protective Equipment.)
