URGENT: Face Shields for Essential Workers
Hi everyone, I have been 3D printing face shields for friends who are essential workers. I have an Auckland Hospital staff member who would like to trial it, but need someone who works at Auckland Hospital to collect from my letterbox and take it in for her to test. If anyone can help please let me know asap.
There are two parts to this design, and while I can make headband itself, I also need Overhead Projector Transparency sheets asap - if anyone has these in the back of their cupboard (preferably still in their packaging but anything would be helpful) please let me know.
If you know anyone else local who is an essential worker that may benefit from this please let me know and I'll help if I can. This is a very low cost effective physical barrier, but takes time to make.
As cases progress these may become a very important tool to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 so please let me know if you can help, either with delivery of the sample or transparency sheets.
Stay safe!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
