UPDATE 21-3-2020: READ FOR ITRUCTIO! UPDATE 21-03-2020: VEION 2.0 COMING! STAY TUNED! Source if Online!: NanoHack NanoHack Mask is a last resort device with the purpose of offering protection from airborne particles and prevent spreading liquid contaminating the airways. Published data1 has shown that the filtration materials used by NanoHack (polypropylene, the same material used in surgical masks) achieves a filtration efficiency of 96.4% for microorganisms of 1 micron and 89.5% for microorganisms of 0.02 micro1. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the design of surgical masks do not allowed a complete protection from germs and other contaminants due to their loose fit2. In addition, surgical masks are single-used devices required to be safely disposed. The Cente for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends placing these items it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash, then wash your hands after handling the used mask2. Previous published research3 has indicated that the high viral load remaining in surgical masks and respirato, can be a source of viral tramission both to the peon wearing the mask or respirato and to othe3. This may happen when healthcare worke touch their mask and then fail to wash their hands properly or when they dispose of the mask without proper safe disposal precautio3. In addition, pathoge shedding from surgical respirato onto patients in the operating room, increasing the risk of nosocomial infectio3. Thus, NanoHack Mask uses a recyclable and biocompatible polymer containing a copper nanocomposite that has shown antimicrobial properties and capable of deactivate viruses. 3D Printing Specificatio Our printing specificatio will result in fused laye, stopping even water molecules that are 0.000282 µm. In general, the minimum wall thickness that we recommend is 1.7 mm. This minimum wall thickness will result in three extrusio side by side producing a double seal. In addition, we recommend adjusting the slicer settings over extrude. By decreasing the print speed and increasing the extrusion multiplier. The specific settings for the slicer software are as follows: ? Laye: Layer height 0.2mm, Fit layer height:0.25mm, Perimete:2, Avoid crossing perimete: X, Eternal Perimete fit: X, Start end overlap: 140%, Merge overlapping lines: X, Expand thin walls: X, Top solid laye: 9, Bottom solid laye: 9, Infill Fill deity: 100%, Infill type: lines starting angle: 0, Infill overlap: 0.9mm, Fill thin gaps: X, Speed infill: 20mm, Top solid infill: 20mm, raft: 100%, iide perimete: 20mm, outside perimete: 20mm, Support material: 20mm, bridges: 25mm, Travel: 130mm, Fit layer speed: 20mm ? Filament: PLACTIVETM: 1.75mm ? Temperatures: Extruder temperature: 233 Deg C°, Extruder wipe temperature: 0 Deg C° ? Retraction: Speed: 70mm ? Extrusion: Extrusion multiplier: 1.5, Fit layer: 160%, Outside perimete: 160% ? Printer: Any desktop 3D printer that allows these settings Copper3D Inc.

Source if Online!: NANOHACK, THE OPEN SOURCE RESPIRATOR MASK NanoHack was ipired by a great global pandemic. The most radical innovatio are born from crises, which is why NanoHack is a unique design. Quotes From Copper3D: " #HackThePandemic Hospitals around the world are close to running out of N95 masks in the middle of the wot pandemic of XXI century! Our purpose as a company has always been related to making a positive impact and tackle #GlobalChallenges through #Innovation, #Nanotechnology and #AntimicrobialMaterials. Our purpose leads us to solve this problem in a low-cost, quick, and descentralized way through #DistributedManufacturing. We propose a #Reusable, #Customizable, #Modular, #Antimicrobial and #Antiviral #3Dprinted #Respiratoystem made with #Copper3D high quality nanocomposite #PLACTIVE. Let’s HACK this #Pandemic with #Nanotech, #ActiveMaterials, #3DPrinting and #DistributedManufacturing. " " Basically, there is a breakdown in the global stock of this product, and it is a basic necessity, especially for Healthcare peonnel who are at the forefront of fighting this disease. In many countries the authorities have also recommended the use of these masks (or similar) on public traport. These masks, despite being effective, also have some problems such as a short lifecycle (about 8 hou), and have another even more serious problem. Respiratory viruses, specifically SA-Cov-2 (COVID-19) can live up to 72 hou on different surfaces. This is a problem since using a conventional mask, at the end of the day we would have a high viral/bacterial load trapped within millimete of our nose and mouth, further exposing ouelves to these dangerous microbes. " Print the pieces with 20% infill, without support or rafts. Heat the NanoHack to 55º-60º C with a hairdryer or hot water. The circular part has to be intact, that's why it's thicker so that it doesn't deform. When softening, bring together the nose wings and adjustment wings located on the lower jaw. You can glue them to fix them better if you want Heat it up again and put it on your face for final adjustments. Make sure it's not too hot! If you feel that there is some part of the mask that does not fit well or is too tight, you can put a small piece of soft rubber in the contact areas. Screw the "cover" on with one or two additional filte. If you use a filter, you can use a circular piece (single or double) of a conventional mask (nonwoven propylene) or add a round facial cotton pad for makeup. Half pad can make breathing easier. Add the elasticstraps. Use...
