<p>Alikureishy: Referencing the right slack channel for participation</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Prusa Face Shield.png|350px]]<br /> <br /> Face shields are used by health care professionals to protect them when working with patients. Hospital supplies are running low. While they prefer to use commercially manufactured ones, in this emergency they are looking for alternative sources.<br /> <br /> These shields are made on a 3D printer. If you have a 3D printer, you can make these. We have several at Maker Nexus that will be running as long as we have supplies. We need volunteers come in to service the printing.
