COVID Face Shields

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, there was a shortage of face shields at local hospitals and dental clinics. To help out, I printed headbands and face shield holders on my Lulzbot Mini 2 and assembled the face shields using the printed parts and lamination sheets. The design was originally the Prusa open-source face shield design on their website, but with some feedback from the doctors and dentists using the face shields, I modified the design slightly to accommodate wider foreheads.
