Coronavirus-related 3D printable designs
Many of the CAD services professionals who offer up 3D printable designs have the current pandemic on their mind. Because so many of them have created 3D printable designs around the coronavirus, we have divided up our 3D printable recommendations into two categories: coronavirus-related and other.
3D Printable Key Ring by Rahul7k
This key ring isn’t just a decoration for your house keys—it’s a useful tool that can help limit your contact with infected surfaces. It can be used to open doors without you having to make direct contact with them, as well as for touching other high contact surfaces such as elevator buttons.
3D Printable Paper-Case by Rahul7k
Another common high contact surface is the paperwork used in banks and offices. Passing paper from hand to hand can spread germs. This 3D printable case is designed to make transferring paperwork contactless.
Grocery Basket Hook by penauleau
Many grocery stores are sanitizing baskets after every use, but just as many are not. The drafting services expert that created this 3D design, allows users to avoid touching the grocery basket at all with this simple hook that allows you to carry the basket without touching it.
Bandana Face Mask Clip by penauleau
If you can’t find a face mask, this simple mask clip can turn any bandana or piece of cloth into a face mask!
Your hands aren’t the only way COVID-19 can enter your body. It can also enter through your eyes. This eye shield is designed to help to protect your face in a pinch, in combination with a face mask. Its normal use is, of course, protection during science experiments and projects.
Watch Hook by Muntazir Merchant
This hook is designed for pushing buttons and opening doors, but instead of hooking to your keys, it can be attached to your watch. If you seldom carry keys on you but always have a watch, this watch hook is for you.
No Touch Door and Faucet Handle by Mahbub
Not only can this 3D printable download help you turn faucets without having to touch them, but it can also help with doors too. It’s also very small and you can slip it into your pocket when not in use.
No Touch Multi Purpose Attachment by From_the_designers_bay
COVID-19 is going to be around for a while longer. This adaptation for a door knob is meant for the long term, allowing people to turn the knob with their elbow instead of their hands. Your elbow is a much safer way to touch high contact surfaces.
This keeps your hands cleaner and thus less likely to pass infection into your body through your mouth, eyes, or nose.
No Touch Wearable Device by Huho Design
This fingerless glove allows you to perform many common functions such as turning on a faucet or pushing a button without having to use parts of your hand that are likely to touch your face. This is just another unique way of avoiding direct touch with high contact surfaces, and it’s easier to carry these around if you don’t happen to carry keys or wear a watch.
Hand Powered Ventilator by Muntazir
This amazing creation makes a ventilator just a 3D print away. The project creates a hand-powered ventilator designed to help COVID-19 patients, while at the same time making it easily accessible. It must be set up and adjusted by a professional, but after this, it can be operated by a layman.
Apollo 13 Style Face Mask by MaxAndSomeMolecules
If you can’t find a mask in stores right now, why not print your own? This mask doesn’t require any gluing or sewing and just needs a few common household items to help make it work appropriately.
The project can be made with 3D printed parts, a vacuum bag, a latex glove, and some USB cable. Instructions on how to assemble it are also available.
COVID-19 Mask by Shahrukh_khan
This face shield will help block respiratory droplets from hitting your face. Since it’s known that COVID-19 spreads through these droplets, this is an excellent way of reducing how much hits your face.
No Touch Smiley Face Bracelet by Fadi
While many of the items we have seen so far have been ways to limit contact for people who wish to avoid COVID-19, this bracelet is for those who a bit younger. The cute bracelet is designed to remind forgetful teenagers and children not to touch high-contact surfaces—an important step to avoiding catching the novel coronavirus.
Holding the door for someone has never been more dangerous. This door holder allows you to be polite and not touch anything all at the same time.
Hook Ring Collection by cristianonishi
If you need a hook to turn door handles, pick up items, or press buttons without actually touching that surface, there are a lot of options. What if you also want it to look like a beautiful and natural part of your collection? No-touch items don’t have to be ugly, and these hook rings are proof of that.
If you work in the medical field, you know the value of clean hands. This tool is designed to help people with sanitized hands manage doors and other surfaces that are not sterile. It’s a wonderful way to help keep patients safe, while still keeping hands sparkling clean.
