The spirit of all of this inspiring, however: I worry that a lot of these efforts are actually going to be detrimental to their intended causes. We're talking about potentially needing hundreds of thousands of these things. That's hundreds of thousands of pressure transducers, pumps, control circuitry, tubing connectors, and potentially millions of feet of pneumatic tubing. As much as we're looking at a design problem, we're looking a supply chain problem. What I'm worried about is that thousands of hackers are currently buying up what could be valuable components for their prototypes, when they should be making those components available for mass producing an existing commercial design. If you are hacker and want to help the problem: the hospital systems need you to make face shields. That's what they're asking for. If you are in the Phoenix area and can assist in printing the prusa face shield parts (https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-protective-face-shield-rc2 https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-protective-...) please send me a DM to $username@gmail.com We are currently coordinating the local effort with the hospital systems here.
