Note: this includes LaFactoria3D's original mask parts that this is designed to fit. It's a great design, and I include it here because they have since updated the mask base in a way this cannot fit. If you feel their updated version provides better protection I urge you to use it instead.
While printing mask parts for Lowell Makes I wanted to find some way to help healthcare workers relieve some stress. Making replaceable caps seems the best way to offer an adjustment; these clip right onto existing masks without interfering with function and maybe they can lighten the mood.
This model is a tiki-themed facemask cap. It clips in place of the existing cap, doesn't interfere with airflow, might fit under a face shield, and should look good with a Mai Tai. I have not printed this one yet as I'm still printing and testing other designs (and the luau has been postponed for a few months) but it slices well in Cura. It's meant to be printed at whatever angle you feel is best to avoid layer stepping and will need supports. Updated now to fit more easily on the bed of more printers.
Instructions on how to assemble these efficiently and good materials to use can be found here, thanks to GiveWave Studios: https://youtu.be/9ItpExBEieY
If you find any issues with it or think of ways to improve its design, please let me know. And feel free to modify this and share with the community.
