DIY medical devices and protective gear fuel battle against COVID-19
Georgia Tech researchers are using 3D printing, plastic-lined table cloths, and an array of other items to craft personal protective equipment that can be used by healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients. The team will share the designs for free, allowing for crowdsourcing of DIY protective gear.

Here I am, modeling my diy bandana and hair tie mask. My state (follow the CDC's guidelines) is recommending that everyone wear masks when going outside.
Since my walks are solo and I don't usually see people, I may just skip the mask (or just bring it along and not wear it unless I see people. I don't know).
It's weird times, y'all.

A group of 6 coworkers and I are 3D printing face shields for local hospitals that don’t have enough PPE right now.
I know we’re all struggling right now due to loosing jobs etc, so no pressure whatsoever, but if you have a few dollars to spare it’s a huge help.
Most of our masks are going to smaller, rural hospitals in Tennessee that are out of PPE, or in my personal case to friends (and their coworkers) who work at MLK hospital in south central LA, where they are running out of PPE and the stuff they do have keeps going missing.
It costs me less than $1.50 to 3D print a mask so if you can throw in $2.00 you’ve helped make a face shield for one health care professional and helped however many patients they can see during that shift.
If you can’t spare any money I totally get it. It’s tough times right now.
Hi folks! We're a group of coworkers that are 3D printing and assembling face shields for hospitals in need! 3D printing can get expensive
My mom made me a mask from my great grandmother’s apron. I know it’s silly, but knowing that she lived through the Spanish Influenza makes me feel stronger by association.
