I have been printing these shields for a week now, and am currently able to produce between 15-20 shields per day. With the help of a friend we are able to support 3 huge local hospitals we have contact to. Till now, our printers are working nearly 24 hours a day. Via Crowdfunding we get new material. And now i just saw this headline of the video and am blessed, that Linus can, by using his connections, ressources and sponsors help others who need those shields to stay healthy, and to help others. Thank you so much, but not only you. All who have a printer, forget about what the filament may cost or how much effort you might have. Print as many as you can, every single one can help! Edit: Thanks for so many likes :)
Awesome man, can't thank you enough. It's amazing some of the things folks have done/donated to help us (I work at an old folks home). Hell, restaurants are evening donating lunch since our cafeterias are closed.

Sometimes I feel so proud of being in the tech community! Between the massive Folding@Home efforts from LinusTechTips (company and community) and now these faceshields.. I just want to commend you guys' efforts!
Well its supposed to be antistress thing during building - to eat some is directly reference in assembly procedure :D Cant wait for mine to arrive. (I ordered unassembled one too) ATM I am running 4 at work to make some respirators (since Prusa is like half Prague away and got injection mold it stopped making sense to print faceshields here)
I'm a former injection mold maker. It takes about a month to make a working injection mold. Mold makers and injection molding shops thank you. I used to work at a mold shop that specialized in medical injection molds. I know that they are doing everything in their power to help. Print farms are a great way to help fill the need for equipment immediately. An injection mold can produce one face shield frame a second but new molds need to be made and tested. Our current economy runs on an at-capacity-production model to maximize profits. This type of production does not leave room to ramp up production. Thank you LTT for what you are doing.
Hmm, check out the video on the channel "SmarterEveryDay" they mention a far shorter timespan: czcams.com/video/sbEj7M3aZIg/video.html (for the same covid-19 fighting application)
SeeMeCNC has been injection molding the Prusa-compatible headbands They are looking for people to make 3d printed bottom clips. I've been printing the shields on my ender 3's... I delivered 32 yesterday to Baltimore MD ( www.wethebuilders.com )
Hm, interesting. Once I was watching a documentary about 3d metal printing and they were printing an injection mold (a cup). I'm quite curious how long does it take with such printer?
@@steveman1982 Nope. Hes right. Time span for making a mold and setting it up is about a month, if you have multiple people working together, on the same page. Tool and die making is a highly specialized field of manufacturing engineering, that requires very specific, very itterative work, with a ton of very specific math, on top of the materials required basically being one off special orders that are not to mention, stupidly expensive and difficult to work with, because you're working with literally thousands of pounds of tool steel that need to be precisely machined, and ground. Then you actually need to hook the die up to machinery, and set up the logistics. Its going to take time for manufacturers to tool up for this because a single die costs tens, if not hundreds of thousands to make and set up.
LTT is seriously fighting this virus... F&H Server, 3D Printing, More than likely folding on their own rigs. Dam Linus you guys are bad ass and really great people.
It's all about community man. People keep each other and themselves in check. There are plenty of groups like that in the US, but I would say that the average US citizen has little engagement with any larger community. We're pretty self-centered.
Don't forget the hundreds of thousands of people contributing compute power to Folding@Home to help with understanding COVID-19 and potentially finding a cure.

As a Czech citizen, I wish all of you reading this, luck and steady health. Wear protective stuff, and just stay safe as much as you can. It's nice to see that in some parts of the world are people helping eachother in these hard times.
before i found out more about 3d printers, i assumed these were like fairly affordable, now i realize each one is about $800, or they got sent $24,000 worth of 3d printers. i'm not even mentioning filament costs
Glad to see you guys spoke with the two guys in the 3D print space regarding validation and approval. Working in the biotech sector, even with lifted restrictions, you still want to make sure the product you have is reusable and can be sterilized quickly using equipment available at the site. A single use face shield helps, but if it can't be sterilized before or after use you could end up creating another problem.
I asked my local hospital if I could print for them, but they didn't need any help. We have a couple of local maker spaces in my city, so they actually have more supply than they do demand for 3D printers.
Plus you wasted valuable time of the hospital personnel by asking if they needed them, I mean it was great of you for thinking of them, but people need to stop this unless a hospital seeks you out. If a hospital needs them, they will find people to make them, but what they dont need is people giving them more work than they already have. Lets also not forget that hospitals are the best place to catch the virus, so if you go to your local hospital to ask if they need them (and once again you shouldnt), you take the risk of catching the virus or giving someone the virus.
Other people might need them too. Cashiers in supermarkets, bus drivers, nursing homes, simply immunosuppresst ppl... Hospitals are the number one battleground, but other people lack protection too
I'd go to local businesses instead and ask if their company is having any trouble providing protection for their employees. Most employees are using protection procured themselves and not always from the company directly. Simply because they don't have anything on hand at their building.
I'm in the states and have followed you for years now but everyone needs to thank you and everyone you know that is helping is this time. Ya'll are unsung heroes and need a shout out!
I have been making shields on my printer at about 6 a day. Glad to see people helping out. I keep sending them to er rooms and helping out doctors there. Been going for over a week now. Wish I had the amount you had but at the end of the day, I am glad to be able to help
At my work we just made 1000 face shields over 2 days using 2 HP industrial 3d printers worth about 600k each. It's been great to see the 3D industry share open source designs to help the health industry.
One thing I've learned is that if Linus hasn't shaved, he has probably been overworking himself. With that being said, I haven't seen Linus this unshaved in a while...
My highschool is making 100 face shields a week. They said they're gonna try and fill the demand in Winnipeg first then help out with some places in Ontario.
@socially unacceptable Maybe because they put people in concentration/re-education camps, or how they bully their neighbors. There are many other reasons....but maybe that is not "socially unacceptable"?
If you don't have a webcam, watch this video on how you can convert your phone into a pc webcame for free: czcams.com/video/BSI9hjZaoyI/video.html also stay safe guys
I love the committees/states/world coming together to help one another. Let's please not forget these lessons afterwards. We all live together on this planet, so don't forget that. Always lend a helping hand to your fellow man(or woman)... Cheers Linus for everything you and your team is doing...!
I am one of the guys doing this in Norway. we have our own design that uses only 18grams of fillament and i have settings making one every 38minutes. i am getting worried that the world will run out of PLA and PETG soon. good work everyone doing this! remember that you will have saved lives doing this. ☺️
FYI Windex works as a great release agent on a PEI bed when printing with PETG. Spray a little on, wipe it down, and print. Good for 5-10 prints and you still get a nice surface finish.
I cannot overstate how much donations like this help. As a healthcare worker in Jersey City, NJ we truly appreciate projects like this. The community has been awesome in both ingenuity and generosity. Love the channel, one day I’ll finally make the build of my dreams with your guidance 😂
Linus is the tech community supplier for Covid-19 supplies. -he makes masks - and before he made a folding at home server. -and he’s going to make more stuff for the medical and science industry Thanks your LMG for your support! Keep doing what you do to help the Science and Medial efforts to fight Covid-19!! ❤️❤️
This has to be about the coolest thing you've done on the channel. Congrats to the team and to everyone who helped along the way to get the project running!
@@johnjonjhonjonathanjohnson3559 Unlikely it'd work due to the amount of actual blur. Plus, key blurring should be standard, but for some reason isn't.
This is absolutely amazing! Hats off to you at LTT for putting all this together and all the volunteers that helped make it possible. You really ought to host an event at your HQ dedicated to them for helping you set up those printers as quickly as you did!
Linus please read this, you are a man of the world. I will not see your face shields but this is bigger then all of us. You Sir should feel proud, not only are you helping your kin you are helping the people of this humble planet and for that I have no words but " thank you".
Honest question, how is it unflattering? Prusa is supporting something awesome and while some printers failed, the video isn't meant to showcase prusa. Even with the failures i think that it shows prusa and their creator in a quite nice light :)
@@SPEEDERT12 the first clip they played. Of him lifting his face mask drinking water. The editors clearly did it on purpose as a joke. The rest of the stuff he's doing is amazing and awesome
Ya like jazz actually... while not completely, many 3D printers have parts that can be printed from another one, allowing places with multiple or those who know others with printers to help repair each other's gear
Check out some videos on Prusa factory... they use their own printers to make a large number of the parts for their printers. Only the electronics and metal supports are not printed. So... yeah, pretty much there.
Healthcare worker here! PPE shortages are one of our biggest problem. I'll be looking out for your orange face shields in the future if they ever get sent to California! Thank you for helping out the world! We all need a little hand these days! Stay safe out there!
All these hosers giving a dislike obviously are unaware of the situation of this pandemic. LTT is doing an amazing thing here and every shield helps protect workers that are continuing to work in spite of things. Those of us working in fast food have little protection between us and the customers. As we are still waiting for Corp to send us our shields. So I think this is amazing what there doing.
8:24 Ok hold on, I personally have experience printing with PETG and my printer is printing PETG right now. You do not need glue sticks to print with PETG. If you have a flexible build plate it should not be a problem removing the prints. If you don’t have a flexible build plate then use a putty knife to get it off, and keep in mind if you keep the bed heated while you remove it that can help.
Prusa has two kinds of print beds. The ones they are using are extremely "sticky" to PETG. You will sure destroy the bed if you don't use glue to separate PETG and the bed. Prusa official warns about printing directly on this bed.
I have been watching your tech videos since some years now. Recently, I started noticing that you are trying to solve good/noble problems while having fun with technology and raising awareness. Be it the Folding@Home project, or the printing of face masks. Hats off to you and your team for using the power of technology to solve such issues, and having fun while doing it.
@@pteppig i thought because of the residue the Petg doesn't stick as much(still enough), but it releases better. That is my personal experience on my Bear MK3S.
@@gurgelplus The Windex cleans the bed but not too much. This allows the print to adhere well enough to print but not stick (or basically weld) so bad after the print has finished.
In Sitges Catalonia we been doing face shields for EMS and hospitals, in coordination with makers groups. We use PLA it was approved by the local sanitary autorities. Great work !!!! Together we are stronger.
We've been running shields on 15 prusa's for about 3 weeks now (the US version of the Swedish design). We've figured out how to print in stacks of 25 and are putting out about 600 a day. It's been a learning experience to really push these printers. They are great little workhorses!
This would be the best question on my math exam: Linus Tech Tips makes ? masks a day. They'd make 301, but Linus keeps dropping one of them. How many masks are left?
i work at a t shirt/ print shop , my boss is working 12 hours every day making faceshields. we have several hundred meters of Forex foamboard to make the headband parts, and we use 100 micron laminated foil for the shield itself the foamboard is drilled and secured to the laminating with metal studs he has made several hundreds of them in a day. he has donated at least a thousand to hospitals all around the country, its faster and cheaper to make than 3D printed ones, so EVEN IF you don't have a 3D printer you can help !!
James Wang, well i guess. But 20mil trees is for the environment so the P of pLanet and the facemasks are for people so the p of people. The P’s which i am refering to is the 3 P’s these are Planet, people, profit
You mean ineffective and ultimately just a PR stunt for virtue signaling? Because that's what "Team Trees" was. czcams.com/video/gqht2bIQXIY/video.html COVID-19 has a laughably low mortality rate, the group it affects the most would be at risk from pretty much any disease and the damage which were are doing to our economies will be far worse and far more lasting than anything COVID-19 has done so far.
@@Corristo89 88000 deaths growing exponentially, what are you talking about? My whole country went on a complete lockdown when it only had 100 cases and no one seems to be complaining about the economy. Economy can improve, life lost can't be returned.
@@Corristo89 It's sad when people think more about the economy rather then the people dying from covid 19. Think a little bit about how fast the virus has spread and killed more people in months then the seasonal flu does in a year. There's a reason why countries are locking down and implementing quarantines because it's going to do way more damage than doing nothing. (edit: I mean less not more) "Initial data show that the coronavirus is deadlier. In the U.S., seasonal flu kills 1 in a thousand people (0.1%) who get sick from it - the death toll last season was more than 34,000. Worldwide, an estimated 300,000 to 650,000 people die from flu each year. By contrast, COVID-19 is currently estimated to kill at least 10 people per thousand infected (1%). "It's about 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, in congressional testimony on March 11" lifted from this article: www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/20/815408287/how-the-novel-coronavirus-and-the-flu-are-alike-and-different

We have 4 utility 3 3D printers one to each office in the uk, a person from each office has taken a printer home and we have made sure we have enough supply of the PETG filament to help our local hospitals where PPE is in short supply were averaging one complete print per 3 hours from each machine.

here, in spain we call it De PrusaMadre!!!
I'm so proud of being Czech right now :) Prusa is blowing up everywhere. The guy's a legend!
I am proud fo being Czech too bro
Czech gang bois!
5:34 It's amazing that they took the time to blur out the keys!
At my work we just made 1000 face shields over 2 days using 2 HP industrial 3d printers worth about 600k each. It's been great to see the 3D industry share open source designs to help the health industry.
I'm liking isolated Linus, he's looking almost like an adult with that 3-day beard.
almost
He does look like a real boy!
That's Mr. Sebastian to you
@@squidliq5059 I'm sure you meant Master Sebastian....
One thing I've learned is that if Linus hasn't shaved, he has probably been overworking himself.
With that being said, I haven't seen Linus this unshaved in a while...
he looks like a badass
Like the mad Version of Bender :D
No, that's just the "Corona Beard". Shows everyone, you have worked from home......
I would say never..
especially those long anno streams :D
My highschool is making 100 face shields a week. They said they're gonna try and fill the demand in Winnipeg first then help out with some places in Ontario.
When Alex is delivering them it’s like a video game!!
I’m making visors in my school because my dad is a d&t teacher. We are laser cutting them using a really simple design. Good luck Linus!
Raphael James Can you share your design?
@@badideabearcub2747 You can find a open source design here. ;-) Think it is almost at the bottom of the page. www.stykka.com/emergeneers
@Stefan Hansen It has a really nice shape, but the link to download the design sends me back to the same page.
@socially unacceptable Maybe because they put people in concentration/re-education camps, or how they bully their neighbors. There are many other reasons....but maybe that is not "socially unacceptable"?
@@badideabearcub2747 Maybe try e-mail them, there might be a problem with the page, they are not aware of.
lol the Ting advert when EVERYONE is trapped at home using HOPEFULLY WiFI.
But more seriously, thanks for stepping up!
Some people only have wifi at work, and for the rest (most) of us, it's probably cheaper for Ting to have a bunch of people not using data.
But if you dont use your data ting wont charge you...
If you don't have a webcam, watch this video on how you can convert your phone into a pc webcame for free: czcams.com/video/BSI9hjZaoyI/video.html
also stay safe guys
Hopefully ethernet.
Makers in Europe were printing faceshields 2 weeks before Prusa stepped in, he did not kickstart it, just used his position to push the initiative
I love the committees/states/world coming together to help one another.
Let's please not forget these lessons afterwards. We all live together on this planet, so don't forget that. Always lend a helping hand to your fellow man(or woman)...
Cheers Linus for everything you and your team is doing...!
i like seeing czech guys helping around the world, its so warming to see that when im from the same country
Amazing work guys.
Gives me a lot of faith in the community as a whole.
Absolutely awesome! Thanks from the whole world.
I bet you weren't expecting that reply from Rita... Jesus.
watching this for the nostalgia... we were so hopeful then
I am one of the guys doing this in Norway. we have our own design that uses only 18grams of fillament and i have settings making one every 38minutes. i am getting worried that the world will run out of PLA and PETG soon. good work everyone doing this! remember that you will have saved lives doing this. ☺️
Can you share your STL? I only have one printer.
@@astew1064, Check out "C19 - Dugnad" group on facebook and ask for it there. It's not mine to share, but i think you will get it there :)
Not gonna lie, Linus be lookin' pretty sexy with the beard. Looks like he finally turned 21.
I'd almost believe he's not a virgin anymore
I'd almost belive he's not a boomer
@@polygorg almost
I hear he is wearing shoes...
Best friendly roast
I really want to see what they had planned for thirty 3D printers, but this is a good reason to put that on hold. Well done.
FYI Windex works as a great release agent on a PEI bed when printing with PETG. Spray a little on, wipe it down, and print. Good for 5-10 prints and you still get a nice surface finish.
I cannot overstate how much donations like this help. As a healthcare worker in Jersey City, NJ we truly appreciate projects like this. The community has been awesome in both ingenuity and generosity. Love the channel, one day I’ll finally make the build of my dreams with your guidance 😂
Linus is the tech community supplier for Covid-19 supplies.
-he makes masks
- and before he made a folding at home server.
-and he’s going to make more stuff for the medical and science industry
Thanks your LMG for your support! Keep doing what you do to help the Science and Medial efforts to fight Covid-19!! ❤️❤️
This has to be about the coolest thing you've done on the channel. Congrats to the team and to everyone who helped along the way to get the project running!
the thing with the tree canon (and there donations) were also pretty cool...
8:50 use glass sheets for bed, then if needed - glue stick, hairspray or blue painters tape are good options for layer sticking.
I love how you blurred out the keys at 5:30 :) Cause you can actually copy a key from an image :P True story
you could make a copy from blurred keys if you had a good AI, since they move
@@johnjonjhonjonathanjohnson3559 Unlikely it'd work due to the amount of actual blur. Plus, key blurring should be standard, but for some reason isn't.
it's really a responsible touch, stunning how many people are clueless of this
I was thinking the same thing. I was so happy to see that!
V86 what key
Makes me happy when I hear someone abroad talking about Czech stuff.
I talk about the CZ-75 constantly........1st edition rocks
True story, Czech boys representing!
Alright but unironically, Linus looks decent with a beard.
If he can grow a beard, then it must mean I can grow one.
Looks less child-like
After he saw the Hacksmith's beard in person Linus knew what he needed to do.
looks 30 now not 14
still sounds 13 though
he looks like David Tennant with his beard
This does put a smile on my face
another cool thing 3d printers can make is earsavers
I ended up hand-sewing a bunch with beads for a nurse friend's crew and they loved them.
3D printers go brrr
"You cant just 3D print face shields!"
"Ha ha 3D print go brrr"

is that a reference from that finance guy saying paper making machines go brrrrr?
@@dennisbengel11 That's awesome, thank you for this gem
0:20 no linus normally the vid starts with an ad
He has a shirt I think and all the profits go to hospitals I think, not sure.
@@blendernoob8993the profits of the shirt go to buy more materials
Prusa is the sponsor
Malzex 1:00 into the video, we get the ad now lol
Download SposorBlock to get rid of the ads.
This is absolutely amazing! Hats off to you at LTT for putting all this together and all the volunteers that helped make it possible. You really ought to host an event at your HQ dedicated to them for helping you set up those printers as quickly as you did!
Linus please read this, you are a man of the world. I will not see your face shields but this is bigger then all of us.
You Sir should feel proud, not only are you helping your kin you are helping the people of this humble planet and for that I have no words but " thank you".
Gotta love how they introduce Prusa with the most unflattering clip ever.
Honest question, how is it unflattering? Prusa is supporting something awesome and while some printers failed, the video isn't meant to showcase prusa. Even with the failures i think that it shows prusa and their creator in a quite nice light :)
@@SPEEDERT12 the first clip they played. Of him lifting his face mask drinking water. The editors clearly did it on purpose as a joke. The rest of the stuff he's doing is amazing and awesome
@@oregano2771 Why is he wearing a face mask inside his own house?
Just as an accessory. I dunno.
Now all we need are 3D printers that print 3D printers.
Ya like jazz actually... while not completely, many 3D printers have parts that can be printed from another one, allowing places with multiple or those who know others with printers to help repair each other's gear
Check out some videos on Prusa factory... they use their own printers to make a large number of the parts for their printers. Only the electronics and metal supports are not printed. So... yeah, pretty much there.
RepRap system :)
Ya like jazz, you are already able to do that

Healthcare worker here! PPE shortages are one of our biggest problem. I'll be looking out for your orange face shields in the future if they ever get sent to California! Thank you for helping out the world! We all need a little hand these days! Stay safe out there!
All these hosers giving a dislike obviously are unaware of the situation of this pandemic. LTT is doing an amazing thing here and every shield helps protect workers that are continuing to work in spite of things. Those of us working in fast food have little protection between us and the customers. As we are still waiting for Corp to send us our shields. So I think this is amazing what there doing.
8:24 Ok hold on, I personally have experience printing with PETG and my printer is printing PETG right now. You do not need glue sticks to print with PETG. If you have a flexible build plate it should not be a problem removing the prints. If you don’t have a flexible build plate then use a putty knife to get it off, and keep in mind if you keep the bed heated while you remove it that can help.
Large Juicer the printer they use have a flexible bed
Yeah I think they were printing too close to the bed. I've never had petg adhesion that great(I'm on a glass plate too.
@@Anon.G same I have the same printer they use and never had any problem with petg
@@something7101 yeah the bed is removable on that one and you can bend it to pop it off right.
Prusa has two kinds of print beds. The ones they are using are extremely "sticky" to PETG. You will sure destroy the bed if you don't use glue to separate PETG and the bed. Prusa official warns about printing directly on this bed.
You guys are amazing. It's so heartening to see the tech community coming together like this.
I have been watching your tech videos since some years now. Recently, I started noticing that you are trying to solve good/noble problems while having fun with technology and raising awareness. Be it the Folding@Home project, or the printing of face masks. Hats off to you and your team for using the power of technology to solve such issues, and having fun while doing it.
Thank you for doing everything that you can to support our front line workers!!
5:24
Death stranding delivery IRL
Did kojima know something
wait, you're onto something
I thought exactly the same - eerily similar to the delivery scenes..
Man, i've been watching your videos for about 2 years now... this is the coolest thing you've ever done. Props to all involved. this is cool.
Thats one way to make content...it's so many ppl who allready 3d prints things for the hospitals..but they dont do videos about it.
Thank you guys for doing this. I'm on the front lines of this thing- its nice to see this kind of home grown support.
Use Windex to clean the print beds. It makes a huge difference when printing PETG on a Prusa.
Will Dupuis what difference?
@@gurgelplus windex removes fats and oils, but leaves a little residue that lets PETG stick better
Hairspray
@@pteppig i thought because of the residue the Petg doesn't stick as much(still enough), but it releases better. That is my personal experience on my Bear MK3S.
@@gurgelplus The Windex cleans the bed but not too much. This allows the print to adhere well enough to print but not stick (or basically weld) so bad after the print has finished.
In all languages, 'Š' is read as 'sh' like in 'shield'.
So, his last name is like Prusha.
Š is like "Sh" but "h" is silent.
*preussen gloria start playing*
Hi from Czechia! the u is long so it's more like Pruusha. His name is read Yosef. So It's all read Yosef Pruusha.

In Sitges Catalonia we been doing face shields for EMS and hospitals, in coordination with makers groups. We use PLA it was approved by the local sanitary autorities. Great work !!!! Together we are stronger.
We've been running shields on 15 prusa's for about 3 weeks now (the US version of the Swedish design). We've figured out how to print in stacks of 25 and are putting out about 600 a day. It's been a learning experience to really push these printers. They are great little workhorses!
8:22 can we just acknowledge that catch without even looking?. legendary lmao
And just as importantly, that throw to put the filament right where it needed to go.
#strongler
Probably took 5 takes
@luke magdalin two takes. -CW
@@LinusTechTips how many takes total?
Linus. please for the love of god, when Ting sponsors you. SAY "WHY PAY FOR TINGS THAT YOU DONT NEED!"
Cuz it sounds like they'll be saying "why pay for ting"
Underrated comment, wont rest until this happens.
"HAVE WE GOT THE TING FOR YOU!"
@@gwot THEN SAY "WHY PAY FOR TING! CAUSE ITS THE BEST TING TO HAPPEN SINCE SLICED BREAD!"
2:30 ... This took stupid to a totally new level. As we say these days, this will be known as the dumb ages.
using the expression "so sick" during a pandemic XD
“I bring you a gift of a disassembled printer. But you have to give it back”
They make 300 a day. They'd make 301, but Linus keeps dropping one of them.
Exactly one a day, no more no less
This would be the best question on my math exam: Linus Tech Tips makes ? masks a day. They'd make 301, but Linus keeps dropping one of them. How many masks are left?
@@justjake9047 Ans: Absolutely none. That mask caused someone to trip and knock all of the masks over
@@timtams_6 lol
The like count right now is at 301! hahahaahahah
i work at a t shirt/ print shop , my boss is working 12 hours every day making faceshields.
we have several hundred meters of Forex foamboard to make the headband parts, and we use 100 micron laminated foil for the shield itself
the foamboard is drilled and secured to the laminating with metal studs
he has made several hundreds of them in a day. he has donated at least a thousand to hospitals all around the country, its faster and cheaper to make than 3D printed ones, so EVEN IF you don't have a 3D printer you can help !!
In ARIZONA...

Linus, it's great to see you smile while talking about this project. We will beat Covid-19 together. Great job Huys 👍👊
We just started testing the production of die-cut PET sheet for face shields. Injection molding the frame will start somewhere next week.
In any tough time, look for the helpers, they are always there somewhere.

PS: Thank you for supporting the fight!
If we are just #strongler for a little longler we will all make it through this. The effort here is incredible, amazing work!
Way to go Linus! You're a good guy! It must feel so good to be able to help. Hopefully this will help re-invigorate you and your team!
The tech version of 20 mil trees
James Wang, well i guess. But 20mil trees is for the environment so the P of pLanet and the facemasks are for people so the p of people.
The P’s which i am refering to is the 3 P’s these are Planet, people, profit
You mean ineffective and ultimately just a PR stunt for virtue signaling? Because that's what "Team Trees" was. czcams.com/video/gqht2bIQXIY/video.html
COVID-19 has a laughably low mortality rate, the group it affects the most would be at risk from pretty much any disease and the damage which were are doing to our economies will be far worse and far more lasting than anything COVID-19 has done so far.
@@Corristo89 88000 deaths growing exponentially, what are you talking about?
My whole country went on a complete lockdown when it only had 100 cases and no one seems to be complaining about the economy. Economy can improve, life lost can't be returned.
@@Corristo89 It's sad when people think more about the economy rather then the people dying from covid 19. Think a little bit about how fast the virus has spread and killed more people in months then the seasonal flu does in a year. There's a reason why countries are locking down and implementing quarantines because it's going to do way more damage than doing nothing. (edit: I mean less not more)
"Initial data show that the coronavirus is deadlier. In the U.S., seasonal flu kills 1 in a thousand people (0.1%) who get sick from it - the death toll last season was more than 34,000. Worldwide, an estimated 300,000 to 650,000 people die from flu each year.
By contrast, COVID-19 is currently estimated to kill at least 10 people per thousand infected (1%). "It's about 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, in congressional testimony on March 11"

As a Front line healthcare worker (Therapy Assistant) From Alberta Thank you!,
Also just so you guys are aware (if you wanted to test it) the most common cleaning agents used by hospitals around Canada include:

We have 4 utility 3 3D printers one to each office in the uk, a person from each office has taken a printer home and we have made sure we have enough supply of the PETG filament to help our local hospitals where PPE is in short supply were averaging one complete print per 3 hours from each machine.
