About FDM 3D printed face masks for air filtration
In this video I would like to talk about filters and air filtration masks created with FDM 3D printers. I noticed a lot of questions and missunderstandings connected to 3D printed masks, so I decided to share in this video my experience from using 3D printed objects in food industry. Topics: About 3D printed masks, sealing and fitting to face, about filters, bacterias between layers, solution for cleaning.
