We are a grup of students from PCKZiU. We have been working at the 3D Print Center at our school for 3 years. 3D print gives us the chance to help those fighting the COVID-19 virus at the front line - doctors, nurses, paramedics.

Inspired by the media, we would like to join the community that uses 3D printers to make medical protective face shield and goggles that protect medical staff in their daily work. We know the demand is huge.

To produce protective face shield we have been using our own printers and filament. Thanks to the headmistress of our school (PCKZiU Wodzisław Śląski) we are now able to use our school's printers. Using the 10 devices we are able to make 2 visors on each printer simultaneously. However, we are running out of filament, PET foil, foam for forehead protection and installation rubbers.

The project requires over 50g of material to print one visor. Thus, 1kg of material is enough to make 18 pieces. The cost of 1kg of filament is 15-20€. Our printers make 2 face shield each. The entire process lasts 8 hours.

To make a complete protective face shields we need more more material, especially filament and PET/polycarbonate glass. The collected funds will be used to replenish our supplies.

If your help exceeds our goal, we will also purchase other products necessary to make a complete visor (PET foil or polycarbonate glass, foam for forehead protection and installation rubbers). We will also share the products with everyone who would like to get involved in this kind of help.
