-CALL TO ACTION-

Covid-19 3D Printing Project

With COVID -19 spreading across the nation hospitals are running out of protective masks, face shields, and other items. At Yakima Maker Space rows of 3D printers, are running 24/7 printing solutions to help medical personnel cope with the shortage of personal protection equipment.

Backstory:

Our goal is to print 400 hundred masks as fast as we can. YMS is now housing rows 3D printers from both public and private institutions, and is working on getting more to meet demand. However these prints take 7.5 hours to print so we are asking that you join us. Just download .stl files and review specifications from the link below and get started. Together we can provide a flexible reusable mask that can be form-fitted for hospital staff during this equipment shortage.

If you have a 3D printer and would like to help us in our mission please download files and specifications from link below. Once item(s) are printed contact info@yakimamakerspace.org to make arrangements for drop-off at location. If you don’t have a 3D printer but would like to help with material costs and expenses please consider making a donation today.
