We're Dave & Nick, two friends with (currently) two 3D printers between us, who are hoping to raise some money to pay for the supplies necessary to create essential PPE for GPs, pharmacists, care homes, shop workers, private individuals, and hospitals.Your donations help:£5 - Helps buy replacement parts for the printers, when they wear out or break£20 - Buys a 1KG spool of filament - enough to print around 75 shield visors£200 - Buys an extra printer, enabling us to produce more visors fasterWe are currently producing the type of visor you can see at https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/ . If you need them, there are three ways to submit your request:First, by form. This link will take you to it: https://forms.gle/YpAMjpceeYAb9G4M6 Second, is by email. Our address is [email redacted] , and we'll need you to tell us:1. How many you need2. What you are (care home, GP, pharmacy, retailer, takeaway, support worker, private individual, etc - note, there's no restrictions - if you've a need, we want to provide for you)3. Your location4. Your phone number5. Your email address6, If you also need the plastic A4 binder cover, which serves as the shield...and we'll add your request to our queue.Third, is by phone. We'd rather you fill in the form or email, but if you can't do that, call (or text, or WhatsApp) on 07513 565824Here's the 3D model's creator, wearing the assembled kit. We produce the 3d-printed holder part, and for those who need them, we also have stock of plastic sheets, which are just regular A4 plastic binder covers, with holes put in by a hole punch.19/04We've decided against buying an extra printer for now. I very nearly pulled the trigger on one on Thursday night (£159 for a used one on Ebay), but as Nick argued, it's better to invest that money in materials for now. He's got a point. What we've done instead is worked and invested into improving our existing production capacity, with Nick experimenting with stacked prints, and me with larger nozzles. Nick's stacked prints do lose a little in print quality, but they also mean he can potentially print 17 at a time, rather than just the one his printer's bed accommodates as standard. I've moved from a 0.4mm to an 0.8mm nozzle (after many hours spent trying to get a 1mm nozzle to print successfully, and then reliably), and I'm really happy with the results of that so far. It meant losing about 6 hours of production capacity over Friday night / Saturday morning, but it's reduced printing time from 1h 12m to 40 minutes, and resulted in far sturdier products, so it was well worth the investment.It's been a great week of beginnings. You guys have been amazing in donating, and it's enabled us to get a pretty decent and well-stocked production line up and running. The next step is to start expanding who we're delivering to. We've a bottomless pit of demand with the NHS and demand in related health and care providers, but I'd really like to try providing for essential workers in shops and the like too, since with the number of people they often come face-to-face with daily, they're in massive danger of contracting, and widely spreading the virus. If we can get them onboard, we can directly attack the virus' R0, and help reduce spread.17/04Nice big Amazon delivery, including paper envelopes (so no more deliveries in non-biodegradeable plastic polypockets), the elusive 4-hole stapler (so we can now provide full ready-to-assemble kits, where before we could only provide the 3D printed part, and then later the 3D part and the sheet without holes pre-punched), and also a nifty little countdown power switch, which automatically cuts the power to my 3D printer when it's finished its printing. It was a tenner, but it means I can now start a print going before I leave for work and another for when I go to bed, and don't have to worry so much about the printer wasting power (or catching fire) while I'm out or asleep. +4 daily production capacity, not bad.15/04Massive, massive thanks to everyone who's donated so far. At this point, we've spent just over £120 on materials and essentials, which will be enough to sustain us for about the next month. Next objective for fundraising is to generate enough for an extra printer. This will be donated to a local school once this is over, along with any remaining materials.The userguide is now written, with a bit of help from Tony from Glasgow and the South Queensferry 3D Collective - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Tc3hKs78XoEVODaNIGM7vSbIhJlfFLvh for that.Deliveries are underway. We've made three today, scheduling to ramp this up heavily over the coming days. Again, message us if you need any of these, or know someone or somewhere that does. Everyone with a protective visor is potentially one less person in a hospital bed.14/042nd day15 more visors produced, ready for delivery13/04We've run for 1 dayProvided 1 care home with 15 visorsWe have 6 in-hand, ready to deliverWe have a demand of ~200Please help us make more. Our demand is only increasing.
