"ear protectors" for mask wearers

To relieve the pressure of anti-epidemic medical staff, boys create mask accessories "ear protectors"

Everyone knows that medical staff need to endure the inconvenience and discomfort caused by wearing protective equipment in the face of the current new crown virus epidemic. In response to this, a Canadian boy recently invented an "ear protector" in response to the call of the hospital in his area to help medical staff reduce the pressure of wearing a mask.

This kind of "ear protector" allows medical staff to wear the mask directly on the plastic strip, instead of directly covering the ear, thereby reducing the pressure on the ear during this process. It is reported that people can easily make this kind of "ear protectors" by using 3D printing technology.

The cost of the protectors at about one dollar per piece, taking only six minutes to print.

It can be printed with Tronxy X5SA 3D printer and XY-2 PRO 3D printer.

FRANKSTON handyman Jake Craddock has printed hundreds of “ear protectors” for mask wearers over the past two weeks by using a 3D printer.

Premier Daniel Andrews announced masks would be compulsory in public two weeks ago, following a surge in coronavirus cases statewide.

Mr Craddock sourced a design and printed the protectors, which wrap around the back of the head, for his friend who was experiencing sores from frequent mask-wearing .

“She had little cuts behind her ears as well and that just made me want to print them even more,” Mr Craddock said.

Community demand for the protectors skyrocketed within days.

“I was getting so backed up with requests and I just couldn’t keep up.”

Individuals, families, and businesses have all expressed interest in the ear protectors, including Peninsula Health, whose nurses now have to wear masks round-the-clock and suffer from sores behind their ears.

“Some people wear glasses, hearing aids, even one lady actually had half an ear, so she couldn’t actually hook it onto her ear at all.”

A community member helped Mr Craddock start a crowdfunding appeal online to buy a second 3D printer.

The project has been so popular, he has considered purchasing a third printer.
