When Carroll got the call for help to create medical masks and shields for local healthcare workers using its 3D printers, our maker/Fab Lab teachers - Colin Meltzer, Josh Mulready, Jamie Fisher, Louisa French, and Andrew Nimmer jumped into action.
On Friday, Josh Mulready delivered the first 12 sets and even got a nice share on Facebook from a nurse wearing hers at Brigham & Women's Hospital. Here is a quick update from Josh ...
Colin, Louisa, Jamie, Andrew and myself have been working on getting Budmen Face Shields out to the local community. I was able to deliver the first 12 sets on Friday, Louisa will be delivering another 25 by Tuesday, and I will be making 10 more tomorrow for delivery. We will continue to make these for as long as possible. Each of us has a role and we are ironing out workflow, designs, etc. I have attached a few pictures. The first is an enhanced safety prototype of the Budmen I came up with (adding metal foil tape to the edges to prevent ripping), the first basket of shields ready for delivery, and a picture of the first nurse to use one of our shields.
