Vaccum formed sealed mask

[updates:

  • Successfully tested by Matt Barinholtz with Eva foam inner shell and HIPS outer shell
  • added draft angle for easier removal from the mold.
  • added extrusion for easier filter holes cutting

Instructions :

  • 2 shells are vacuum formed on 3d printed molds.
  • Holes are cut in the flat surfaces of the two shells to allow air to pass through.
  • A filter is inserted between the two (now perforated) flat surfaces
  • The two shells are assembled according to a method to be determined (bonding, friction, elastics on the outer shell to maintain the pressure?)
  • Holes are drilled to fix two elastics which will pass behind the head.
