Masks were hard to come by so I 3d printed them and added filter material from furnace filters. They were super hard to breathe but I felt more comfortable shopping with them. Probably inhaled a lot of micro plastic.
I'm rather impressed by this though! Clever.
I remember I'd just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that's entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.
I didn't print a mask but I did join in on a city wide effort to make 'ear savers' and give them away free for hospital and other essential workers. I do wonder how many of the ones I made got used, I wasn't too fond of the design and found a better one a month later but by that point they had tens of thousands and weren't accepting more.
