There's a shortage of personal protective equipment to keep our healthcare providers safe and healthy. So let's vacuum form some face shields!
Go here to download a 3D model for the forehead piece, then print it out on your 3D printer:

I'm just getting started printing my first one:
Make a couple of copies so you can bang out several in one pass on your vac former.
Or better yet, use that 3D printed prototype to make an MDF version to be used as your production mold.
Lay them out on your vac former, and pull some plastic over them. Cut out the parts and put them in a box. Find a "collection spot" for your local hospital and deliver the parts where volunteers will assemble the rest of the face shield.
Your local Maker Space may have information about an organized collection spot.
Let's all pull together to protect our healthcare workers!

The master has finished printing.
Now it's time to make some copies using scrap wood in the garage.
