Highlights
Features and Benefits: · 2 oversized sized inhale filters with internal valves · Front expel filter with valve · Softer plastic for a more comfortable fit · Easier breathability and fit · First Responder edition with highest level of filtration All parts are 3D printable within 3 hours, and HEPA filter material is replaceable. This version is intended for individuals with moderate knowledge of 3D printing. Click here for a strapping instructional video. RESPIRATOR MASK DISCLAIMER: This prototype model is pending NIH assessment for community use. The results of this process may result in modification. ~Prior version of respirator has NIH Approval.~ |
The Maker Mask Respirator has been approved by the NIH for all general community applications: This approval applies for use outside of the direct healthcare setting and benefits critical front-line essential service providers including: Police/Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue and other Emergency Response service providers. The Maker Mask is also a great option for essential service resources providing our communities with food and other needed supplies: Grocery, Delivery, Transportation and other supporting services.
We’re Building a Community of 3D Printing Enthusiasts to Fight the COVID-19 Global Crisis
Our goal is to enable people to meet the community needs for respirator-quality masks and other critical medical supplies through 3D printing around the world.

WHO
Humanitarians, People with 3D printers, hobbyists, civic groups, Maker Spaces, universities, schools churches and available willing/government units. Donations to this effort can be made through our Maker Mask/RPrime Donation Center. Donation Center.
WHY
Enabling communities to create necessary goods locally and quickly will lessen the spread of disease, protect more people, reduce burdens on medical facilities/DoD/governments, and give Americans something they can do to be part of the solution to this pandemic, while building and training capability for the future.

WHAT
The Maker Mask is a respirator style mask created by Rory Larson at the request of several local hospitals in Seattle.
COST
We are mindful of costs and have tried to limit barriers to participating. Not including electricity or cost of printers and labor - which is all volunteer and donated here in Seattle - the costs of the inputs are low we estimate that the cost of each finished mask to be roughly between $2 and $3 dollars.

“Good news! Seattle Children’s Hospital has a team that has tested and medically endorsed the Respirator mask."
“I am very excited to be the first person to try these 3D printed mask……these 3D printed masks have great potential to be used in non-patient medical contact sectors…it will help solve shortages in Personal Protective Equipment in these unprecedented times!”

SEATTLE CROWD-SOURCING “FRANCHISE” PILOT
|
Seattle is all about scale and entrepreneurship. In Seattle, a team consisting of Rory and Garr Larson, and Jonathan Roberts are starting a Maker Mask community-based production run. Our vision is to scale this production by creating “Small Batch Production Franchises.”
As of March 29, 2020 we have accumulated 40 3D printers and supplies to create up to 20K masks. We believe that we could be running 24 hours a day and produce 300 masks per day with this effort. Through Small Batch Production, we can create all the back-up materials and support infrastructure necessary for your group or organization to create your own Small Batch Production facility. We intend to share their best practices and hopefully start a movement in the humanitarian, hobbyist, civic communities. We can show you how.
