A Hackable, Stackable, Flat-Packable Face Shield
A Hackable, Stackable, Flat-Packable Face Shield
This face shield, developed as an open source stop-gap for the PPE shortage affecting front line workers world-wide, was designed to be laser cut. The intention for this project was to develop a face shield that can be produced relatively quickly (around 5 minutes per shield) and to use minimal materials, while still providing effective protection from droplets.
All files, including a DXF for laser cutting and a bill of materials, can be found on the Flat-Pack PPE GitHub:

This video demonstrates the fabrication and assembly of the Flap-Pack PPE.
1.) Laser cut the plastic components (from the DXF)
2.) Laser cut slits in the elastic bands (from the DXF)
3.) Fasten the face shield to the head band using small zip ties
4.) Attach the adhesive-backed weather stripping
5.) Loop the elastic through the head band catches.
6.) (OPTIONAL) Attach a PRUSA 3D-printed bottom-reinforcement (link to that .stl file here)
