**UPDATE 2**
The "dentist" version was bugged, the visor was closed all the way on top, which meant the headband couldn't flex anymore to fit different head sizes.
**UPDATE:**
I got some feedback from my first users, and made a few changes to optimize the design.
1. Made the headband a bit shorter. This means two pieces now fit on the print bed of my PRUSA, scaled to 99%. (see picture). Use version V003 from now on. Scale both copies to 99% and then rotate one of them by 180° around the Z axis. This should give you a layout as shown above. I have tried stacking the shields on top of each other but that failed.
2. Added a "dentist" version where the top is closed. Dentists operate in a permanent water mist emanating from their patient's mouths, and are at high risk of infection. This is also an option for anyone who wants a more closed version, but be aware that ventilation may be restricted.
