DIY Automatic ventilation for AMBU bags 3d printable / made with laser cut acrylic
Virtually Maker Faire 2020
May 22nd-23rd
My free contribution as a Maker to the DIY movement of finding alternatives for the most needed medical supplies.
This design compresses bags like Ambu Bags, and is based on easy to find parts, like Nema 17 stepper motor, shaft coupler, linear rods.
The idea is that a lot of Makers have some leftover components of a 3D Printer, like stepper motors, leadscrews, these can be re-used in case of emergency to make an automatic ventilator.
Please note that this design is not definitive and that sizes of the bag is approximate, so before 3D printing the parts, they must be modified.
