• “I have specs for the face shields that we are making, if anyone is interested in them. We have
taken a template from Prusa and made adjustments to meet our printing needs. I have
suggestions for the headband (how to print, sand and clean), elastic (what to buy, how long and
how to cut slits) and the plastic for the shield itself (which transparencies work better and how
to punch holes in them). If anyone is interested in more information, please go to SOMACC on
Facebook or email me directly at rgriffith@sscc.edu.”
