3D Printed Mask

Donation protected
We are doing what we can during this difficult time to be a contribution to our community and loved ones. We have (2) 3D printers and a very skilled 3D designer that has been able to leverage the open source file and create a way to include a filter that any one can make at their home with a variety of materials. We are raising $1K to make 200 more mask to donate to essential workers in the Los Angeles Area which will take 2 weeks to complete, however each 2 days we will have 12 mask ready to donate. We have already made 24 mask and have received positive feedback. We also have been testing the benefits people see when adding a small amount of an essential oil like Eucalyptus. We will continue to improve the design and our goal is to empower others who have a 3D printer to support their local communities as well. 

Reusable Emergency N95 Filtered Respirator Mask - NanoMask 3D printed with plant based recyclable material. We have added a way to include a filter with various materials that you can make at home. Upon receiving a mask you will get a 5 day (30 hour) kit to get started and information on how to make your own filters.  

The purpose of the 3D printed NanoMask is to offer the general population a degree of protection against airborne particles and to prevent the spread of liquid aerosols that could contaminate the airways.

It is not an N95 mask. It is a face mask and should not be considered as a PPE (Personal Protection Equipment).

If you are a healthcare professional, you should use it as a last resort device: you cannot manipulate airway such as intubation, mechanical ventilation, fiberoptic bronchoscopy and similar procedures.
You can use it in common spaces and great for essential workers or when out in public. 

It should be used for a maximum of 8 hours and change the non-woven filter once a day. After handling the active filter, you should wash your hands and follow precautions as recommended by the health authority.
Keep in mind also that if you leave the elastic bands very tight it can hurt you, we don’t want the use of NanoHack to be counterproductive or cause you discomfort.

The NanoHack was designed to fit a 12 cm height face very well, measured from the tip of the chin to the ocular plane, a horizontal line that passes just between the eyes, and a distance between cheekbones (measured straight above the nose) also 12 cm.

This mask has not been reviewed by the FDA and in no way is intended to be a replacement. However, during an emergency this mask is capable of preventing the spread of germs and can filter certain air particles depending on the preferred media. The housing is made of PLA and can be recycled. This open source design was generously provided by Nanohack2.0.
