During this COVID-19 Pandemic, surgical masks are in short supply. While the supply situation is getting better in some parts of the world, it is extremely difficult to buy masks for children.
This design allows you to:
- Make a mask with materials you can find at home
- Provide some level of protection while commercial masks are not available
- Customise to any sizes from children to adult
- Add elastic band for longer period usage
- Disposable if you use paper material, so you won't have to worry about contamination. Please choose paper that has some water repellant, such as magazine pages. So it can repel droplets.
- Washable if you use cloth material
Hope this will help everyone to fight this virus.
This kit consists of:
- A stencil for drawing out the shape of the mask
- A filter component
Instructions:
- Print all 3 STL files
- Mask-Filterv20_stencil.stl & Mask-Filter v24-stencil-kid.stl: Stencil for tracing out the mask on your material
- Mask-Filter_v20_top.stl & Mask-Filter_v20_bottom.stl: Filter parts
- Find any material such as magazine pages or cloth
- Find a material that will work as a filter. A circular piece of surgical mask OR face cotton pad OR kitchen towel
- Trace out the required shape using the stencil on magazine pages or cloth
- Assemble the filter into the cut out shape with the filtering material
- If you want to attach elastic band, you can fold the ear pieces and attach the band. See attached photo.
