What is this?

As hospitals and front-line workers are short on protective gear, people around the world are banding together and creating equipment to help keep them safe and save lives.

We are attempting to organize support to safely produce and distribute 3D printed face shields and other PPE to local San Diego health professionals. If you don’t have a 3D printer there are still many opportunities to volunteer time and resources to helping this project. For a better idea of what we’re trying to do, watch the video below:

How To Help

3D Print Face Shields

PRINTING DETAILS:

We have decided to print the 3D Verkstan Face Shield due to it's easy printability and simplified assembly. Download the file from the website below and follow the printing instructions.

While PETG is the preferred material, face shields printed in PLA or ABS will be accepted.

Be sure to fill out this form with your contact information to be notified about how 3D printed parts will be collected.

We would love to hear about your printing progress! You can fill out this form to let us know how many face shields you've printed and the average rate at which you're producing them.

DROP-OFF DETAILS:

It is time to start collecting face shields! We have set up a drop off location in La Mesa. Please if you can, drop off the prints you have done. This first batch will be delivered to the VA Hospital hopefully on Monday (04/13).

How to prepare your prints for drop off:

  • Clean up your prints, remove any excess strings or filament.
  • Wipe down your prints with a standard household cleaner
  • If possible, pre-punch holes in your transparency films
  • Leave the films separated from the frames
  • Drop off at the specified drop off location

Drop-Off Location:

6335 Primrose Dr.
La Mesa, CA, 91942

You will find a clear plastic bin you can drop your prints off in. It will be emptied regularly. From there the prints will be wiped down again and packaged up to be delivered to the VA.

If you are unable to drop off, please email us so we can arrange a way to get your prints.

Volunteer Your Time

We need people from all walks of life that can help in any way possible. We are looking for local residents with 3D printers who can print out a specific files, workers in the medical industry that have connections, workers in supply chain logistics, or people just have extra time on their hands and want to help. And so much more. Let us know what you can do for your community.
