Showcase: 3D printing COVID-19 Faceshields - 3DCROWD UK

It's been a crazy and very busy time recently. Between orders I have been dedicating 3D printer time to creating COVID-19 faceshields for NHS nurses and others in need, through the volunteer organisation 3DCROWD UK. If you have a 3D printer - or even if you don't - please consider donating your time to help fight this pandemic. You can find more information on the 3DCROWD website: https://www.3dcrowd.uk/

There is also a GoFundMe page where you can donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/3dcrowd-emergency-3d-printed-face-shields

The image above (from the 3DCROWD website) shows completed face shields. The orange-coloured top and bottom parts are 3D printed, and the clear splash mask is supplied and fitted separately (but can be made from a fizzy drinks bottle at a pinch!).

To date, 3DCROWD have organised over 8000 volunteers, have delivered over 80,000 face shields, have raised over £126,000, and have requests for over 600,000 face shields. As you can see, lots more needs to be done, so please visit the website (link above) to find out how you can help. Thanks for looking.
