Greater Chicago area hospitals are experiencing face shield shortages and are asking that individuals and businesses with 3D printing capabilities print masks for them.
A small contained effort to produce face shields has emerged since the shutdown, with a very small number of volunteers tending 3D printers as they print face shields. Currently the masks that we have 3D printed have gone to Swedish Covenant. We have printed and donated 750 to date. There are other hospitals and first responders that are still in need of face shields.
