Community Face Mask Frame Overview

Simple 3D printed Face Mask with flexible filter media options. Three sizes available; small, medium and large. Use string, elastic cord, rubber bands, or other options to secure to head. Anchors around the frame are very handy to wrap string around for a snug fit. Frames only take 15 minutes to print each. Mask frame will conform under tension, or can be heated and formed to the face. ****Ultimate goal is a low cost, fast printing, simple face mask with flexible filter material options that could be reused or discarded.**** "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."
