Have you been approached to be printing visors for NHS?

Get your printer to print a 3D printer.

Good stuff, I have three running at the moment and have sent out ~250 to local care homes. 50 off are making their way to the local hospital with an anesthetist friend this evening (she's on nights)

Which design are you printing? Prusa (or varient)? I'm printing the N3DPS one, as when local places all have kit I can send whatever I print into the national collab.

I've had 3D printers for a few years now.

Our school bought a 2 for 1 kit a few years ago... you got on complete 3D printer and the drawings to make another + a bag of all the bits you couldn't make.

I’ve bought two more. Only raised £800 on the GoFundMe. Had to take a mortgage holiday but it’s worth it.

Not sure if I’m allowed to link here but PLEASE all consider printing the Nationa 3D Printing Society variant - this is CE pending and a HUGE distribution network has been setup including sanitisation through existing NHS suppliers.

Go for then National 3D society one. It’s genuinely a simpler print for a novice compared to others. It requires now supports anywhere as it’s a flat band.

What material did your order? Needs to be PLA (easiest to print with) or PETG. ABS is a biatch without an enclosure and leaches toxins into the skin.
