Instructions for Printing Medical Masks
- Doug Daniels
Owned by Doug Daniels
Note: per the advice from medical professionals, please try to limit the number of persons that handle these prints as much as possible, both throughout the printing process and the delivery.
Estimates from UCLA Health for the number of masks that will be required range from thousands to over 25,000. As such, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Please contact dougdaniels@library.ucla.edu if you have any questions.

Please note that as of this writing, 3/21, there are two versions of the face shield. Both versions are viable, however RC2 is preferred
| Prusa - face mask |
|---|
Headband V1.stl - smaller, designed to maximize production. Headband V2.stl - larger, designed for comfort rather than mass production |
These are the settings that were most preferred. We also did tests using Prusa's recommended settings, which also work.
| Layer Height | Infill | Shells | Supports |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3mm | 0% | 10 | Disabled |
Because both versions are viable, and because we are in need of such a large quantity, please try to maximize your build plates as much as possible. So if you're like me and can only fit one V2 headband on a build plate at a time, but could also squeeze in a V1 print alongside, please do so!
