Thank you Champlain Maker Faire/Maker Places, AIV and VMEC networks for contributing materials and equipment.

The first batch of face shields is sanitized, assembled, bagged, and headed to UVM Medical Center today.
Thank you to all the hands and minds that made this possible.
We’re still looking for additional Prusa printers to add to our print farm, as well as donations to support this effort. If you‘d like to help visit www.generatorvt.com/PPE
We have a lot more work ahead of us. Stay tuned!

Great coverage in Seven Days for our face shield project. We want to get the files out there to as many other makerspaces and locations with laser cutters as possible, and we're also still looking for material donations - 0.020 PET sheets or rolls, or any other clear plastic sheet or rolls in similar thickness. Fabian Earth Moving came through with a roll of material that will make about 1,000 shields - RRMC needs 10,000!

Healthcare in need! CALL FOR MAKERS - to help make parts for healthcare.

Reaching out to see if you have interest in helping fab items in combating COVID-19? Vermont Makers have been working on designs and production of items in critical need... the list grows and will likely continue to grow.

Current help needed is to create parts for face shields, masks and simple ventilators. We also have an inquiry to create a UV sterilizer.

So, PLEASE consider being part of this effort by providing basic information of what you have available and how you can help.
