First they send us free shield supplies for our community, and then they send us a nice little gift. The folks at @GreenGate3D are the best.

FACE SHIELD ASSEMBLY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
Barnum Factory, at 97 Indiana has offered their gallery space to assemble face shields. You must bring something to cover your face (respirator, N95 or cloth mask, etc).
Sign up for shifts here: doodle.com/poll/x4zx5qb2n9sx…
We are looking for someone who can run PVC sheets through a vinyl cutter for face plates on the shields. Or get a die made to cut them. PETG is getting hard to come by. PVC is plentiful, but not laserable. #DesMoinesFightingCovid
@drakeinnovation Just so we can plan for assembly volunteers for face shields, do you have a delivery date in mind?

Big thanks to @LOVEPI515 for dropping off their PLA for us to turn into face shields for healthcare workers!
The folks at @SeeMeCNC are amazing. Thank you for rapidly increasing our ability to get these to the healthcare workers that need them!
Search our website today. Part number 12801. Support Us To also Help others. We sold our first 17 x 150 in minutes. The donated parts will be headed to two different groups. Maker Space in Iowa @Area515DSM is going to receive 300 free and we'll pick another maker space too.
Everything you need to know about our PPE efforts at the link. We are sending shields to rural medical facilities around Iowa as well as those in Des Moines.

If you want to help creating PPE, but don't have a 3D printer, we could use help with coordination.
And elastic. If you have elastic in your stashes at home or see some at the store, grab it and reach out to us at [email protected]
If anyone else is coordinating PPE creation/requests/delivery in Central Iowa, please let @Area515DSM know. We're coordinating our own community's efforts and welcome others to join us. But we're not logistics experts, and we'd be happy to join forces with someone who is.
