Today was mostly spent getting the 3D printer from school hooked up, leveled and starting to print one of the COVID-19 masks that a company has shared on the Internet. This is where the power of the Internet and technology comes into play and let’s everyone with a little bit of skill create almost anything.
The mask that I finally printed didn’t quite work right but that was because I had not read all of the instructions. I was confused how some rigid plastic was going to be able to be bent into a face mask that could go over the mouth and nose:
But I later read that you needed to use a hair dryer and some glue to finish it up, so I’ll try again tomorrow since it takes about 5 hours to complete.
I also set up an online board game for tomorrow at 2PM so we’ll see how well that works out. I haven’t heard back from any of the students so I may need to contact them through the Zoom app since that is where all the students seem to be communicating.
