Starting a page with some links to folks working on 3D Printing & other DIY PPE projects. I'm focussing on projects that have involvement with health care professionals and/or organizations. This is as much so I have as much in one place as it is for anyone stumbling across this.
There's not much sense in doing any of these unless someone can and will actually use them in a clinical setting.
I'm trying to make some sense out of everything that's going on. Three things are clear to me:
(I'll tidy this up as I go, maybe ...)
Lowell Makes N95 Substitute & You Tube assembly video
Emergency Ventilator, I think from France
The Olson Mask & You Tube tutorial - Sewn fabric and HEPA filter media. They are asking for help in making the fabric part.
HPs Site -w- some links to some of the open source projects
GetUsPPE Maker Page
Prusa Printer Stuff:
Bacon Doctor - Mask made out of HEPA vacuum bags
How to make a mask by Deaconess health. Also seem to be trying to organize makers.
GLIA Faceshield designed by a Canadian ER worker
Big collection of projects that need to be vetted @ cults3d
Phoebe DIY Fabric Mask - with fabric recommendations and production flow suggestions
Kaiser's preferred mask how to - with fabric recommendations
John Muir Health's preferred mask instructions - with fabric recommendations

I'm trying to make some sense out of everything that's going on. Three things are clear to me:
- There are plenty of great designs out there and more on the way
- I need to find people who will use the products as they are mostly not officially sanctioned yet
- Any significant project needs space*
*I think the space issue might be solved by finding companies willing to allow a group to use it's offices. I know in the bay area there are a lot of empty eating & gathering areas right now that would be fine for 3D printing, sewing masks, light assembly, and packaging.
