There's no question that we're in unprecedented times. Our front-line workers & healthcare professionals are the heroes of the #COVID19 crisis & they need our support. So today I'm pleased to share that my team at @Think2thing has devised a practical & inexpensive solution.

In response to the urgent needs of healthcare workers, we took a basic, open-source concept for a #3Dprinted face shield from @Prusa3D & developed a snap-together design that could be printed economically using SLS. We've made those files available here: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/28087-nestable-face-shield-based-on-prusa-rc2

I have immense gratitude for everyone working day & night caring for all of those who've fallen ill as a result of #COVID19. My only hope is that solutions like what @Think2thing has developed can provide much-needed safety for workers & aid in the fight against this virus.

Many thanks goes out to the @Think2thing team as well — David Didur, Wilfrid Ngo and Omar Grant — for working tirelessly to develop this solution. And for the rest of us, we must do our part to #BreakTheChain. This means #StayHomeStaySafe.
