mad1 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I'm asking for some help if possible. My son has started making these masks for the local hospitals. They are 3d printed but we are struggling to get the material for the lenses. If anyone has anything or know where I can buy them from please let me know. I'm as proud as punch of him as he 17 and doing this of his own back... Thanks for reading and please stay safe !!! M1 and Connor... Ps thanks Nath ....

Dave at kelton Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Saw a post on Facebook and she was making them using the cellophane pockets you put in lever arch folders to hold documents. She was just sliding a plastic hair band into them to grip the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just a thought but maybe the film that vets used for the X-ray plates before they went digital maybe there’s some local to you that’s now obsolete great stuff well done to the youngster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 The sheets that projectors used are called acetate sheets. The plastic needs to be alcohol proof as they are being re used so need to be cleaned. Bad times. if anyone has any ideas for air fed hoods that are cheap, easy to make and disposable I would be keen to know. my other half is a surgeon and it's a sticking point at the moment with no clear outcome.
