Face shield - Confortable - Fast to print - Stackable

An extremely light and confortable face shield that can be printed in less than 40 minutes using the provided gcodes on a MK3/S and that is compatible with stacks.

Print instructions

This face shield has been inspired by the excellent design RC3:MX2 but redesigned from the ground up using Fusion 360 with 3 main goals:

• Improved wearing confort
• Reduced print time
• Making stacked prints possible and easy to split

If you own a MK3/S, you can take the provided gcode. The speed and acceleration values are those used in the Prusa own face shield gcodes and are extremely fast. Make sure your printer is in a good shape when using these.

The quality of the stacked face shields greatly depends on your printer. If the stringing is too high, reduce the speeds to 85% for example or reslice using your own values.

If you decide to make you own slicing, set:

• Slice: 0.25mm
• Perimeters: 3
• Infill: 100%
• Supports: None

Print times on a MK3/S using the provided gcodes

• 1 x -> 0h38
• 2 x -> 1h20
• 4 x -> 2h40 (2 stacks of 2)
• 20 x -> 13h20 (2 stacks of 10)

Each face shield consumes about 25 g of filament which should make it possible to print 2 beds of 20 in one spool.

The design could seem to be pretty fragile with 2.5 to 3.5 mm thickness but its form allows for a greater flexibility than the original one.

Files

Look under User print files section for all gcodes including the ones for stacked prints.
