We are most certainly better together! We currently have about 12 vounteers with numerous 3d printers helping since April 1.

We have delivered to several St. Pete Hospitals, Pharmacies, Assisted Living Facilites, Dentist, Doctor and Vet Clinics as well as a squad for Pinellas County Sheriff Office.

Please sign up if you have a 3D printer and time to help. If you have a printer but won't be available, we can look for a volunteer maker to double up their capacity with your loaned machine.

Please healp spread the word. There are more faciliites in need, but they don't know about us yet and we want to help!

For the last 2 weeks we’ve been testing out a few different 3d printed mask and face shield designs for healthcare professionals.

We’ve talked to local doctors and vet clinics and researched what others are doing across the country and world wide. After talking with local officials we’ve determined this Face Shield is what we can produce the quickest and make the biggest impact on local equipment needs.

We are coordinating volunteers through St. Pete Makers and other 3D professionals we know though Tangible Labs.

We are proud and excited to be helping with our first big request to St Anthony’s ICU this week but also pissed that they need this help!

We will continue to do what we can but I am afraid the request will soon become overwhelming. But i'm getting connected to other teams so hopefully we can collectively help meet the most critical needs.

If you know anyone with a 3d printer, please send them our 3D Printer Volunteer form.

My heart goes out to all the healthcare workers and their families!

Together we are better.
