NanoHack, an open-source 3D printed mask against COVID-19

By Anonymous
The manufacturer of 3D printing materials Copper3D has just put online an open-source STL file of a N95 mask, which can be 3D printed and used against the COVID-19 virus. Its Hack The Pandemic initiative is global and aims to mobilize all manufacturers of machines, fablabs, printing services, etc. to create these masks quickly – the lack of which is a burden for hospitals and healthcare professionals. For some, it is difficult to be entirely reassured about the effectiveness of the mask called NanoHack, however, the company claims that many scientists are behind this project and that a patent application has been filed. Copper3D is a new player in the medical field, nevertheless the various products it has developed, including its antibacterial materials based on copper nanoparticles, do suggest that its solutions are effective.

You can find on the Cults platform a STL file to print its protection mask against COVID-19. It can be 3D printed in PLA and with a layer thickness of 2.5 mm. Keep in mind that it cannot be guaranteed that it will be completely efficient.
Finally, you should know that the European Commission has made an urgent request for more masks and fans for breathing apparatus. Mobility Goes Additive acts as an intermediary between the players in the additive manufacturing industry who could design these parts and the commission.

HealthyPi

By
  The HealthyPi was designed with not just one application in mind, but a variety of them. While it does function as a vital sign monitor for traditional patient monitoring applications, it can also be used for several other applications. You can use it with a Raspberry Pi using a display; use it with a Raspberry Pi with the official touchscreen using our “Complete Kit,” or you can use it standalone by connecting it to any computer’s USB port. The software is compatible across all platforms.                                                                         Resources: https://github.com/Protocentral/protocentral-healthypi-v3 http://healthypi.protocentral.com

Sterilising Lamp by Frank Chou

By
Frank Chou's Sterilising Lamp combines an ultraviolet (UV) light with a tray, and would ideally be kept by the entrance to the user's home for them to put items in such as their mobile phone, keys or wallet as they enter the room. The user would press the cover body to activate the internal UV light source, the body then lowers to cover the items in the tray with the UV light. After 60 seconds the cover automatically rises to reveal the now-sterilised items again. Frank Chou aimed to create an "unconscious design" when creating the lamp, which he hopes can blend into the home and become part of people's daily routine, as opposed to a disinfection method that they consciously have to think about doing.
