3D printing models for faceshields built at NYU for NYU Langone Health These models are based on the budmen design https://budmen.com/ with modifications for comfort and durability based on NYU Langone Health ICU and Emergency Medicine staff. Design Team: Mihály Vöröslakos, Neta Agmon, Victoria Bill, Elizabeth New, Benjamin King and Timothee Lionnet based on the budmen model.
Assembly requires:
- 1 3D printed shield holder (shield_holder_nyu)
- 1 3D printed strap lock (strap-lock)
- 1 transparent shield (we have used 0.5 mm thick carbonate sheets, cut pattern in transparent_shield_cut_nyu)
- 1 elastic band (0.5" wide)
- 1 piece of foam (3/4" wide by 0.5" thick weather stripping foam; about 9" per shield)
- 4 pop rivets (1/8" diameter, 1/8" grip length)
Instructions:
- 3D print the shield holder and its strap lock. 0.3 mm thick layers, 10% infill with 2 solid layers at the top and bottom work well for us. Using a 0.8 mm nozzle reduces print time more than 2-fold compared to 0.4 mm.
- cut the carbonate sheet (following the pattern in transparent_shield_cut_nyu). We have used laser cutting and other tools.
- cut a 9" long foam strip and stick it to the inside part of the shield holder.
- using a riveter, secure foam to shield holder with four pop rivets.
- cut desired length of elastic band and tighten using the strap lock.
- wipe assembly with Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 70% Wipe.
