Amazing fellow. He actually inspired me to order a 3D printer today and try to make some of these.

How much does something like that 3d printer cost?

Get a paper towel, fold ir in 1/2, staple a rubber band on each side. No 3D printer needed.

I actually have a couple half mask filters if needed.

Not needed yet.

I have one. Ironically, it is crappy quality control in China, but for the price, it is great. I have had no end of issues, but I think I got a lemon. Five guys I work with don’t have a problem with theirs.

Someone told me there are twenty factories in China producing them...don’t know if that is true.

When I got mine, first thing I had to do was break a part off of it according to knowledgable YouTubers. That’s hard to do, even on a $200 printer.

I meant to say twenty factories that have no communication between them about issues, improvements or even standardization beyond the plans.

I kind of have a hunch that is true.

My wife is a nurse.

I will stick with the 3d Printed version thanks.

Seriously, why bother to post at all if that is all you are going to “add”?

My friend’s kids’ (engineering) high school is making them from 3D printers.

supposedly the actual filter needs to be capable of keeping out virus cells that are .1 micron- at least that was how small the last virus is- noone knows the size of this virus- might even be smaller-

Because a paper towel has a higher filtration level than a piece of cloth?
