The allocation team was not told who has donated. However, they cost us about $5 each to make. Donations were critical for us to be able to keep producing. We were pleased that so many donated to support the effort.		We gave these away, paying for them from donations. We did not sell them.

	~~=== What to do with the finished product ===~~

	~~'''Stop printing.''' Please send in the parts you have completed, but don't make any more at this time.~~

	~~When you have parts ready to deliver, please follow the following steps:~~
	# Fill out [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJfZz5M-xxQifJmFBdNQcn7c3i5eFabV7StA5ep9zsJuco9Q/viewform?usp=sf_link this form] with information about your donation (so we can track inventory)
	~~# Seal in plastic bag.~~
	~~# Label bag with your email, the version of face shield you printed (e.g. "MN 1.3" see releases in parts below; or "RC2" if you used that), the material printed with and the date you closed the bag.~~
	~~# Mail to~~
	~~Maker Nexus~~
	~~234 E. Caribbean Drive~~
	~~Sunnyvale, CA 94089~~
	OR
	Deliver to us if you are local and it does not violate the Shelter In Place Order - please do not make a special trip for this - but if you are passing by on your way to get essential groceries and want to drop it off, that is acceptable - there is a box outside our front door where donated parts can be placed.

	Please be sure you are following proper sanitation procedures when you bag parts - if possible, wear gloves and a breathing mask, wipe or spray with disinfectant if available. We want to minimize the chance of cross-contamination. After it reaches MN, we will be further disinfecting them before delivering to its end destination.

	We have some limited amount of 1.75mm PETg, ABS, and PLA that we can give you when you have dropped off 20 or more face shields parts. Supplies are very limited so please only take some if you need it. Just ring the door bell and ask if we have any filament in stock.
