3D Printed Face Shield, COVID 19

This is a significant upgrade of the previous QSD face shield to make both the frame and shield visor sustain the sterilizing process such as steam sterilization. The frame can be made of ABS, PETG and PPSU. The shield visor can be made of PETG and Polycarbonate glass. The frame is redsigned to have a strong build to be able to accomodate the more rigid and heavier visors such as 1/16" thick polycarbonate glass.
