Normally, my business designs and builds escape games that are played around the world, but times are far from normal. We, like many others, have had to close down our normal operations but we're now looking to use our workshop to create much-needed PPE for local healthcare workers. There's currently a national movement to bring together people across the country to use their 3D printers to collectively make tens of thousands of protective face shields for frontline workers - we're a small part of that massive movement. We're raising money to pay for the components for the face shields - we have already had some incredible support, hence the reason for this page. The key components are: PETG 3D printer filament - around £22 a spool which creates around 20 masks. Buttonhole elastic straps to hold it on people's heads - around £5 for 5 meters. 3D printers - this is a stretch goal but the more printers we have the quicker we can manufacture - £250/400 depending on model. Face screens - these are being procured by the central team and sent out directly to us. Any support you can give would be incredibly helpful and I appreciate there are similar efforts going on around Edinburgh and the wider UK, so if you've supported the cause in another way then THANK YOU!
