Check out the NIH DIY 3D printer COVID-19 page for some original solutions to PPE problems.
Cloth face masks:
Allina health has looped face masks that they are accepting for donations.
There is an upgraded DIY mask from Allina Health with a built in pipe cleaner to improve the fit of the mask around the nose. I will give it a try. I could not locate 1/4 inch elastic bands because all stores were sold out. I will try with larger elastic bands and see how it goes.
Face shields
St. Cloud State converted plastic overhead projector sheets into face shields.
I will be adding to this page in subsequent days.
