These are used by medical personnel to relieve the tension on the ears when wearing a mask for long periods of time. I have printed several dozen but they are quicker, easier, cheaper to do on the laser. I use .060 styrene as it is cheap, tough and flexible. I have stretched the length for peeps with larger heads. I don't have the .stl file right now but can post it if someone wants it. I expect we will be wearing a lot of masks for the next year.

Here are a couple more designs if you find you need an alternate to work with material you have on hand. I have cut the Prusia one out of 3 mm acrylic and it has been received well. The second one is supposed to be more 3D printing friendly.

I suited up with mask and gloves and went in to make about a hundred that were requested late yesterday. The sign shop is giving away a couple styles of yard signs with a nice wire stake... I trained them well

The folks at Glowforge are actually giving them away to essential workers. They're also matching up their customers with people who need them to increase the production capacity even further.
