- Create PPE (e.g., goggles and face shields) via 3-D printers. If you have access to 3D printers, join our efforts by following specifications for this prototype: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-protective-face-shield-rc2/ to create face shields to help protect the health and safety of Devereux team members.
