Description
####Update 20200220_1903
SmilyMask(Antex)_Param.f3d Now can customize with how big you want it to be.
Changelog: Offset using midpoint, so most time will work. Do not change parameters drastically, change one mm by one mm (Less likely will break)
Still known problem: Changing JawDepth,JawHeight and JawClerance will make the Loft Object randomly decide to Twist/Add a seam that result in broken extrusion of the links, but you can go back to the yellow/red step and fix it ( Fairly easy )
Experimental: SmilyMaskParamFixSupport.f3d, need to allow single extrusion wall when slicing.
####Background
As the new Novel Corona Virus outbreak happened in Wuhan, despite WHO/CDC experts opinion that there is no evidence that suggest that surgical mask and N95 mask can prevent healthy people from infection ( because of lack of traning and fitting test ), people have anxiety when they see someone without a facemask.
As we do not live in an isolated society, I beileve we also should understand people's anxiety. Also any mask can reduce the risk of droplet transmission if the one wearing it is a carrier of the virus.
This remind me of a kind of transparent Polycarbonate sheet mask that they wear in food service industry that exactly does this: prevent most droplets and does not make breathing harder, and the mask can be cleaned with alcohol to prevent microbe from building up.
I did a bit of research online and I don't know who originally designed it, but most result comes from a company http://www.antexmask.com/. So I decide to replicate the design and share it (fair use principle).
Other than the print, you'll need:
