Making a better fitting and more comfortable face mask with laser-cut and thermoformed "earsavers"!

Virtually Maker Faire 2020

May 22nd-23rd

Exhibit

Glowforge owners are pitching in to make better fitting face masks for health care providers. Makers are matched with nearby mask sewers to make and donate "earsavers" -- laser cut acrylic toggles that help adjust the fit face mask straps. I've taken the design further by stretching its size and shape for better fit and thermoforming with a heat gun to created a more comfortable and more durable curved shape. We're well on our way to the initial goal of 2 million earsavers!
