One of the alternatives to the 3D printed face shield is a simple DIY foam based face shield. As 3D printers will not be available at all the places, this can serve the need too. This can be created with raw materials easily available at nearest stationery store. It needs a transparent OHP sheet, double side tape and an elastic band.
The OHP sheet will serve as the shield, there would be foam attached to the double side tape on the forehead. An elastic band will be tied from one end of the tape to the other end. The elastic band will help to hold the face shield over the face. The shield is easy to make and takes approximately 15 minutes to be assembled once we get all the required raw materials.
