We have an awesome team of 3D printers on the island making a variety of items including ‘Plan B’ N95 face masks and face shields.
If you don’t have a 3D printer and are detail-oriented they also need volunteers to help cut vinyl, foam and more!!! Contact them directly for more details.
They also looking to borrow the following:
2 Cutting mats (quilting) 24″x36″
1 Long flat metal ruler 54″ or longer
3 pairs of electric scissors
For more information on helping, donating or if a location in need, contact Ashley Bystrom or Gail Corell is the volunteer coordinator for 3D printers projects.
3D PRINTERS UPDATES!!!!
Ashley is part of the Atlantis Robotics Team on SW and they have been working with the other robotics clubs and teachers from CW and NW along with many community volunteers (including in this group!!!) to make 3D masks, 3D ear protectors, 3D ventilator valves and hand made face shields.
If you have been donating 3/4″ & 1″ elastic this is who we have been sending it all too!
Here is the update Ashley gave me this week:
Our team of 3D printers have so far completed and donated 200+ 3D Masks, 450+ 3D Ear Protectors, 750+ handmade face shields as well as 30 3D printed ventilator nozzles for Island Hospital.
