I'm putting this out to the SH community as I know we have members with 3D printers.

There are some Montana Dr.s that have designed a 3D printed mask into which a replaceable filter can be placed. The replaceable filters are commercially available. The design files are available from https://longliveyoursmile.com/3d-printable-mask-for-covid-19/ and https://www.billingsclinic.com/foundation/.

These won't be approved by any agency and there won't be any fit testing. But they are better than some of the crazy shit I'm hearing from relatives in healthcare.

I hit GrabCAD the other day to look for a part, and it seemed like there were a few dozen recently-uploaded files of this type.
