In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we put our skills and tools to use and created the OcuShield.
The design is based on the original and approved design of Prusa RC3.1 faceshield (https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-protective-face-shield-rc3), which meets the standard of EN 166:2001 for protection against drops and sprays (protection class 3) and was certified by the Czech Ministry of Health.
We already made 70 OcuShields for both the School of Optoemtry and Vision Science and CORE (Centre for Ocular Research & Education) at the University of Waterloo and are reaching out to other ocular health preofessionals to help more.
We've also set up a gofundme page if you'd like to support our caus and help us raise money for a new 3D printer to increase our rate of production. https://gf.me/u/x8qfam
