A place to dump my thoughts and progress on helping local healthcare providers

COVID19

Public domain designs for improvised PPE

Motivation

The Cambridge Health Alliance is soliciting homemade PPE donations, and MGH has formed [working groups] (https://covidinnovation.partners.org/) for PPE production among other things.

My goal is to produce PPE and other emergency equipment for local hospitals who have run out of official equipment.

I will attempt to produce the highest impact goods, as determined by

• Hospital need
• Likeliness to work (be safe and effective)

I think there's a fairly high chance that none of these get used. The need for masks is definitely way more critical than basically anything else. But CHA is actively asking for things like goggles, and this is very low cost to me, so I'll take the gamble. I am currently healthy and have some 3D printers, and a passing interest in manufacturing, so let's give this a shot.

I do not warrant these designs, products, or reference material for any particular purpose. It is up to the end user to assess their efficacy / correctness. If you're in the business of persuing legal action against ordinary people trying to produce lifesaving equipment during a pandemic, fuck you.

onshape

Thank you for this! I was looking for these parts under a free culture license and someone linked me to your project.

Onshape adds a layer of difficulty to access the shapes. Downloading a shape was difficult to find. I exported the shapes into stl, text, mm, fine, as separate files. Would you accept a pull request to place them in this repo to make them easier to access?
