== Overview ==
Knox Makers is organizing efforts to create and provide protective equipment and support to our local health community.



== Face Shields ==

A face shield to be worn by medical workers.  

Our design is based on the Prusa Face Shield with alterations made in response to feedback from UT Emergency Department.  

It involves a 3d printed part printed part, a laser cut part, and button hole elastic.

== Bias Tape Makers ==
Bias tape makers help make the pleats in the fabric masks.  

They can be 3d printed and are helpful to the community making these masks.

== Fabric Masks ==
Fabric masks are meant to protect from the spread of droplets from the wearer's mouth and nose.  

These are currently being recommended for everyone and not just health workers.

== Surgical Mask Straps ==
The surgical mask straps hold the elastic that normally is held by a health worker's ears. 

It helps save the irritation caused by prolonged usage.
