WARNING: Testing versions RC1 and RC2, the design is currently being verified!

Open questions about surface contamination and extended breading ground close to the face.

A false sense of security can be very dangerous.

If you want to manufacture shields for others
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY

• Act as if you were infected by the COVID-19 virus. Wear a face mask and a fresh pair of gloves when collecting each batch of printed parts. Store the parts immediately in a sealable bag.
• Talk with whoever you’re making the shields for, let them know about your manufacturing environment
• There is still debate about how long the virus survives on plastic, but most sources mention 2-3 days. That means that by letting the packed face shields sit for 2-3 days before distributing them, you’ll greatly reduce risk of transmission
• Do not store the entire stock in one place, minimize the risk of cross-contamination
