Did you add to cart and then goto top right where cart is and click that? You also have to hit the pic of the mask again that you want. Let me go thru

You put the mask on and then clamp down on the nose metal bar things to get a good seal on your face.

3d printing one? How the fuk is that a viable option for most people?

Well I've never shopped there so I have no idea then.

Edit: Googled it. Apparently, you need to select size, shape, and color first.

There are some options on the page there.

LOL it's not even color, but like 5 pack vs 1 pack etc. I would choose the 5 pack.

Damn the 25 pack is expensive af. $188 wtf

Well, I figured it out and bought them, but they're not going to ship until May. So, I'm going to have to wear a homemade mask until then. :/

I have a 3D printer and know some engineering friends that do. Obviously not everyone has a 3D printer, I was just saying if you have one, it's an option for you.



Basically the idea is to try to get a better seal around your face instead of just using the filter material and some elastics. You do this by 3D printing the mask, using some kind of sealant on the plastic to block any microscopic holes, and adding a rubber seal around the edges for comfort and to block out air better. This is 100% better than just a cloth mask, but it is also less effective than a certified n95 mask/respirator as the seal isn't guaranteed on your homemade mask.

Based off the recommendation of the "COVID-19 Speculation, Conspiracy Theories Thread" I picked up a few N99 masks months ago.

Have you tried looking for N99 masks instead? IMO you should just not buy any at all since healthcare workers are the priority.

It would be a good idea to this in your information thread in case there are other posters that are buying masks.
I'll try to fit it in, but the main post is basically out of room to add more text. I'll have to delete some other stuff to fit it in there.

You got it.

I lucked out and actually had 2 brand new N95 masks sitting around so the wife and I use those. I have a chit load of surgical masks and sometimes I use them but I couple it with a face shield from this company -->https://safishing.com/product-category/face-shield/

The ability to breathe isn't bad.

If you want for now I can send you some surgical masks to use in the meantime. Let me know pogy brah.

I have some surgical masks. But, they're kind of old and have been used previously.

Just lol @ not wearing N95 masks. I bought some last year when the California Camp Fire was going on and the air was toxic to breathe. I had opened a new bulk pack to get some then. Not going to donate an opened pack (and they wouldn't take them anyway) so no fuks given about wearing something I already paid for long ago.

They upped their production.

But then they sold them all to China because $$$. Looks like the government forgot to prioritize the US over exports to other countries.

Trump eventually figured it out.

once you get a mask you can reuse it by putting in paper bags for 30 minutes at 160 degrees will kill it or leave it in a bag for 9day which will kill it

Best bet is to sidestep price gouging and make one yourself.

MERV 16 filter x2 layers + merv 13 layer. If you can 3d print a mask for it that's ideal, or adapt to an existing respirator or sew into a face mask.

Household air filters are still available on amazon.https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-NEW.../dp/B009CEUX20


Filter like this you can punch out 100 masks. Long story short, I have a MSA respirator that I can't get new filters for at all...I'll be printing new housings and using household air filters for it in the mean time. If I didn't have the respirator (basically the piece that connects to your face) I'd be looking into a 3d printer to make that component or buying a sewing machine (srs).

Best advice you'll find here, plus check your PMs.

at this point you might be better off assuming you will get exposed to the virus and stay active/healthy/sleep well in order to boost your immune system.

It could absorb droplets. It acts as a barrier. It would reduce your risk by a decent amount. It wouldn't protect you, but it would help statistically reduce your risk.

I have a full box of these...



Just sitting in my closet...

I might break them out if I need to work in public. This is retail $20 *******s. Why not own a box in your closet? In November 2018 we had a fire here in CA people price gouged. When it cools down buy a few boxes and put them in you closet...
