Put that 3D printer in your airplane shop to good use for medical personnel

FWIW, we've heard back from a number of local health-care providers that this particular shape isn't ideal due to the sharp corners on the arms holding the strap. This design uses a curved holder instead, which removes the crevice into which material can be trapped, and has the benefit of being more efficient to print. Our local health-care providers like it a lot better and the local group printing effort has standardised on it. A few thousand have been printed and delivered already!

Did some this morning along with a face shield visor.

I tried to buy a printer today but they're kind of out of stock everywhere, unless you want to pay a $100 premium. I wanted an artillery sidewinder x1, it should go for about $399

This video compares both the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D Printer Review with what the CR-10S Pro should've been ( their title, I don't know anything about either one).

The second one is $60 shipping for me, so basically a hundred bucks to get it sooner. I don't buy stuff unless it ships from north America. He auto rejects price offers


I can get a creality no problem, the arsenal is hard to find. That tells me which one I should get

Amanda and I delivered the first batch of 40 since I wasn't sure how much they would be needed. we discovered that everyone at the hospital is wearing masks and some had face shields. the straps were very much appreciated. I could see that most had the mask bands around the ears and their ears were red and stressed. we returned and redoubled our efforts to reduce the print time from 17 minutes to 11 minutes with 99% of the quality. we should be able to output a couple hundred per day.

You must be in a country he doesn't like because it's not rejecting me when I try to make an offer.

You can make the offer, but if it's below a certain threshold it auto declines. The threshold is well over $400, I don't know where it is but it's higher than I'm willing to pay

Amazon has some but they're not shipping for awhile

This is awesome.
