Description
[ENGLISH DOWN BELOW]
Ceci est un adaptateur de Cartouches 3M pour masque de snorkeling Decathlon, c'est un prototype fonctionnel qui peut servir en dernier recours comme protection respiratoire en cas de menace chimique/bactériologique à condition d'utiliser des cartouches appropriées (Cartouches ABEK recommandées).
J'ai personnellement pu attester son efficacité contre les gaz lacrymogènes en tant que reporter durant les manifestations de GJ.
Ce prototype peut être utile en cette courante épidémie de CoVid-19 mais je tiens à préciser que ce n'est pas un masque à gaz agréé et ne garantit légalement aucune protection respiratoire.
VOUS ÊTES RESPONSABLES DE VOS PROPRES ACTIONS, il ne s'agit pas d'un masque de combat mais d'une pièce créée a but éducatif et en aucun cas ni moi ni Makerbot Thingiverse ne sont responsables pour un usage illicite ou inapproprié de cette pièce.
UPDATE: J'ai ajouté une nouvelle version de l'adapteur avec un plus grand écartement entre les cartouches ainsi que le fichier Fusion360 pour ceux souhaitant le modifier
[ENGLISH]
This is a remix of a very clever design to use Decathlon's easybreath snorkeling masks as full face gas masks, this version however does not need flexible material and works with 2 3M cardridges (Preferably ABEK cardridges).
I've tested it in riot situation as a reporter and it does seem to work pretty well, although I recommend using the shaving cream trick on the visor to prevent it from fogging.
It would be effective against Covid-19 when using proper cardridges but be aware this is a proof of concept and not an approved form of breathing protection, the air vents being at the top of the mask also makes if more effective at getting fresher air.
Please be aware that this device may not be 100% effective and I am not in any way responsible for what you might use it for or what this device may or may not protect against.
My personal experience using it on the field showed me that it is pretty effective against tear gas but your results may vary.
Although it might be effective as a last resort protection against CBRN threats it is not to be considered as a "war gas mask" or as a war weapon but as a proof of concept.
Always use proper certified protection equipment when working in an environment with hazardous chemicals or chemical warfare, you are responsible for your actions.
It is vastly better than nothing but I cannot give you a guarantee of its effectiveness for obvious legal reasons.
UPDATE: I added a new version of the adapter to fit bigger cardriges as well as a Fusion360 file to allow for edits
