Early pandemic, I bought 4x 3D printers and started a print farm to make PPE masks for doctors. I was cranking out around 60-80 pieces a day.

After the shortage was over, I ended up donating it to my buy nothing group.

How do you 3d print ppe masks?

Also, what's a buy nothing group?

Search for your local buy nothing group on Facebook. Ask to join it and then start asking or giving your things away to your local community.
