Support me via Patreon: / blovett Today we touch on the subject of filter material for use in your 3d printed Coronavirus masks. This applies to 3d printed masks, and face masks in general. When using furnace filters, it's important to use one that does NOT contain fiberglass, and that is at LEAST a MERV 16 rating.

For a filter that captures up to 96% of virus size particles, check out the following (higher rating than an N95 mask):
Aprilaire 516 Replacement Air Filter for Aprilaire Whole Home Air Purifiers, Allergy, Asthma, Virus Filter, MERV 16: amzn.to/2Lm9LH5
For those looking for a good home furnace filter for overall improved air quality, check our Nordic Pure MERV 12 filters: amzn.to/2zz5nS8

Regarding HEPA filters, another salient point is that the reason HEPA filters are tested at .3 microns is that .3 microns is actually the size that is MOST difficult to capture; both above AND below that (for different reasons) it gets easier to capture particles. Reference section 8.7.1 on HEPA filters here for a decent explanation: www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/high-efficiency-particulate-air-filter
This is great info, thank you for sharing
I do what I can. ;) Keep up the good work!
Thanks for all these very useful and well stated points!
Great information
It would be nice if you listed more filter examples.
Do you happen to sell your masks? If so how much? I’d like to purchase some since 3d printers are taking forever to ship and no one near me has a printer that would print for me!!
Can we print the whole mask out of TPU ?
You can, yes. I like having the filter area made out of a more rigid material, but all TPU should work fine.
