If you own a 3D printer, you can help save lives by making ventlators and masks as hospitals are running out.

    Have a small printer. Right now printing a mask that fits on my printer which is a bit different than the in the article. When done will take it over to my local hosptial to see if it will work. If so will just keep printing.

    @KeithH, best to call them first so they can meet you in the parking lot with the right person.

    specific filament is needed ... where do you get it? I read a comment on another site that it cost around $100 a spool, but no links for it.

    You need to use Copper 3D PLACTIVE AN¹™ Antimicrobial PLA Filament. As noted it's about $100 a role, and as might be expected, it's getting harder to find in stock.

    Since the film industry is shut down, prop houses are now starting to create masks and ventilators and wardrobe department crew are sewing masks. I love how everyone is pitching in on this!
