Reusable 3D-Printed Face Mask

   
   Rowan University engineering and clinical college students have evolved a prototype for a durable, lightweight, reusable face masks to reinforce the deliver of face masks at some stage in the modern scarcity of PPE all through the COVID-19 outbreak. Developed in collaboration with clinical professionals, the mask prototype might also serve in medical and discipline use. If printed, used, and maintained correctly, the mask provides a durable, reusable mechanical barrier.



Ease of installation and use

   The prototype offers components: a contoured mask and filter housing. No special tools are needed for assembly. The replaceable nonwoven clear out materials endorsed for the filter out housing are extensively available. The masks may be printed in three sizes, all with the equal size clear out housing. The contoured mask can be more intently molded to the user’s face by using submerging the rims in hot water and pressing it to reform the form in opposition to the face.

Savegrabber

Savegrabber - open door without touching the handle, press knobs without touching - additional barrier for the coronavirus and other germs Hi, this is my attempt to hopefully reduce the spread of the coronavirus or other germs, I call it the "Savegrabber". It is a hook-like device that allows the opening and closing of doors without touching the handle. There is also a tip to press buttons in the elevator or light switches. The touching surfaces are designed to be as small as possible, so the contamination should be low. My idea is to wear the Savegrabber with a retractable key chain on the belt or on a bag. If everyone would use this, I think this could be an additional barrier to germs. The print in PLA is sufficient and you can clean it using alcoholic  disinfect. https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/26146-savegrabber-open-door-without-touching-the-handle-/files
