Ask HN: Printing'@'Home?

1 pointsby KennyFromITabout 5 years ago
Hey all,<p>I have a 3D printer (a simple little Creality Ender 3 Pro), and I would love to put it to good use somehow and help my fellow human beings in need; possibly printing parts for a ventilator during this coronavirus pandemic.<p>Are there any good sources available to match supply (i.e. people with printers) with demand (i.e. hospitals needing ventilators)?

Most people are printing masks frames using house filters for the filter and face shield frames using overhead transparencies for shields.<p>I&#x27;m my area a local maker group has coordinated with the local hospital to print and distribute face shields. We have about 25 makers printing them now.<p>I would check local maker groups or contact your local hospital to see what they&#x27;re accepting.
