This design is intended to be built using 3D printed, modular parts. Two example designs are presented here, but the idea is that any combination can be used as needed.
- 3D printed parts:
- ABS or PETG recommended as a printing material for cleaning purposes
- PLA is not recommended due to its lower glass transition and melting points
- Hardware:
- Use any of: M5x15, 10-24x5/8" or 10-32x5/8" with corresponding nylon lock-nut
- Parts are designed to be printed on hobby grade 3D printers, use settings as recommended by your printer and filament guidelines
- VentilatorFrame_BaseLong
- VentilatorFrame_BaseShort
- VentilatorFrame_VerticalPost
- VentilatorFrame_VerticalExtension
- VentilatorFrame_HalfArch
- VentilatorFrame_WholeArch
- VentilatorFrame_ArchSpacer
- VentilatorFrame_IOPort
Presented here are some sample arrangements that may be useful for your needs:
This design features an IO port and easy access to the face at the expense of patient comfort
- 6@ VentilatorFrame_VerticalPost
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_VerticalExtension (optional, repeat as many as necessary)
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_IOPort
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_HalfArch
- 1@ VentilatorFrame_ArchSpacer (optional, repeat as many as necessary)
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_BaseShort
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_BaseLong
This configuration provides more room over the patients face, but has limited access from the sides.
- 6@ VentilatorFrame_VerticalPost
- 6@ VentilatorFrame_VerticalExtension (optional, repeat as many as necessary)
- 6@ VentilatorFrame_HalfArch
- 3@ VentilatorFrame_ArchSpacer (optional, repeat as many as necessary)
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_BaseShort
- 2@ VentilatorFrame_BaseLong
