Shortly after the spread of coronavirus in the UK, Adastral Park became the headquarters for coimmunity face shield product, serving the East Suffolk & North Essex (ESNE) NHS trust and beyond.
I decided to get involved after hearing about rural healthcare workers lacking PPE. At first I was distributing shields in small quantity across the country through facebook using the two hobbyist 3D printers I have for building drones and cosplay props. But when I learned about the project at Adastral and the significant shortages going on locally I worked on increasing output and producing hundreds each week.
