COVID-19

Rozdajemy przyłbice za darmo szpitalom i przychodniom! Free face shields for hospitals and clinics!

NIE posiadamy atestów i nie gwarantujemy sterylności. Należy przed i po użyciu zdezynfekować (np. alkoholem, izopropanolem 70%). Używasz na własną odpowiedzialność.

Jesteś ze szpitala lub przychodni i potrzebujesz przyłbicy? Wypełnij formularz na https://covid19.hackerspace.pl lub napisz na: covid@hackerspace.pl

We're working on producing face shields made out of two piece cutout from PET foil and rubber bands.

We will be giving them away for free to hospitals and clinics.

The head shield is quite comfortable and sits well on top of the head. It is not the best face shield in the world, but in a few days we should be able to produce a few thousand items per day and send them out for free over all of Poland.

We do NOT have certifications nor guarantee the product to be sterile. Before and after use it is necessary to disinfect the face shield. (e.g. with ethyl alcohol or isopropanol 70%) You're using it at your own risk.

Are you representing a hospital or a clinic and need a face shield? Fill in the form at https://covid19.hackerspace.pl or write to: covid@hackerspace.pl

How to put the face shield together?

We have published a short movie manual on putting the face shield together. We're working on a paper version of the manual.

The manual pertains to version v24 and v28 of the face shield (produced and sent on days 2020 March 25-27).

Can I donate money to you?

If you're a health care provider (hospital, etc.) - DO NOT send us money. WE will help YOU. Fill the form at https://covid19.hackerspace.pl or write to covid@hackerspace.pl with information on what you need including amount.

We're funding the manufacturing using donations and private fundrasing - also voluntary work.

If you want to help, here is our information:

We have currently spent about 2000zł on the project.

We do not sell. If we produce something, we will donate the result to people in need.

We require base materials. Can you procure PET or PETG foil? (at least 0.5mm thick) If so, please contact us immediately: covid@hackerspace.pl

Face shield model download

All files are available for download under license CC-BY-NC 4.0. In short: you can use, modify, publish but a) you must keep the author information (Konrad Klepacki, Mariusz Dyrda, Warsaw Hackerspace) and you cannot use the project for commercial purposes. According to our interpretation it means you cannot profit from the sale of the face shields, but we're not lawyers.

version v24 - 2020 March 26

https://owncloud.hackerspace.pl/s/nTnwmcW5K9z4zT7

  • file faceshield-v24-full contains a set of traces to cut out one face shield with headband
  • files faceshield-v24 and faceshield-v24-strap are like full, but split into separate face shield and headband
  • files faceshield-v24-production are templates we have sent to local manufacturer of stencils
  • if you want to cut it on K40 laser - we recommend using faceshield-v24-full for format 30×40 cm

version v28 - BETA - 2020 March 26

https://owncloud.hackerspace.pl/s/FkzHxagkzGa3Xj7

  • added optional hooks for a cap or a hood
  • manufacturing improvements

FAQ

What is needed?

We do have a stencil machine. We do have voluntary workers. We do have personal protection equipment (thanks to donors!)

We need:

  • PET-G foil 0.5mm (at least) in bale or perhaps in sheets
    • Material: ideally PETG, perhaps PET or PETR.
    • Bale if possble up to 100kg so they're portable with two men (recommended but ask if you have bigger)
    • Width of the bale: absolute minimum 260mm, also accepted 300, 530, 600, 400, 800.
  • laser cutter with bigger work area for iterative prototyping
    • size at least 600 x 800 mm (we have 380×290 mm - bigger is needed due to size of head shield and face pieces for professional head shields, such as used by rescue workers).
    • Best for rental to our place - it will save us a lot of time because we have a local stencil manufacturer for stencil machine.

What we can do?

  • laser cut flat parts
  • cast volume parts in resin
  • print with 3D printers (additive filament-based fused deposition, so mostly prototypes - we potentially have access to more 'production' oriented printers in companies)
  • cut with stencil machine thin, previously tried materials
  • cut plastic from bale to sheets (also for other groups)
  • we have an injection mould machine for plastic, but so far (2020 March 22) we do not know if it works. If it's improved, it would allow us much faster serial manufacturing than 3D printing.
