I'd guess this is the face shield you're referring to: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-face-shield https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-p

It's awesome that Prusa designed and open sourced face shields. Apple seems to have improved on those designs - to me, that's exactly the point of open source.
- duskwuff 7y ago> Apple seems to have improved on those designs I'm not sure the Apple design was influenced by Prusa at all. The curved plastic is basically universal, and was present in face shields long before the coronavirus crisis. Some face shields used a rigid molded plastic shield, but that's obviously much harder to manufacture. If the shield is made of flexible plastic, something is clearly needed to tension it; the Prusa design used a rigid printed component, and Apple used another flexible component.
