South Queensferry 3D Printing Collective
Donation protected
Help us keep them safe, so they can keep us safe.
We are using our 3D printers to produce face shields, which we are distributing to local health-care workers, nurses, care homes, pharmacists, and others who need them. The demand has been overwhelming, as has the offers of help. These workers are putting their health and even their lives at risk in order to keep South Queensferry healthy, so we are doing what we can to support them with 3D printing technology.
We are currently running three printers. The masks take just under an hour each to print. So we are trying to raise funds in order to purchase a fourth printer, (likely an Ender 3, or a CR-10), which will enable us to make far more masks, and help far more people.
The money will also be used to buy supplies as needed, more PVC sheets, more filament, or more elastics. We will also support anyone else in the community who has a printer, and wants to join our team.
Once this crisis has passed, and it *will* pass, we will be donating the printer and any left over supplies to the local high school. There it will be used to teach a new generation on how to use this technology, so that next crisis we will be even more prepared to help. Any leftover money will be donated to the food bank.
3D printing has, all around the world, proven to be vital during this epidemic. There are ER rooms in Spain, midwives in the Philippines, nurses in Sweden, all using 3D printed face shields, when no other protection is available. Thank you for helping us with this revolution.
