Film for face shields

Hello! What film are y’all using for the shields? I’ve used the school smart film which I think works well; however I have had a complaint that it is difficult to see through. Is there any you have seen to be better?

Good idea,

but these sheets are available in different densities, 240 microns seems to me to be very small? or not

I think something thicker is needed.

Do you have a photo of how it turned out?

Thanks a lot

Check with whatever organization you're donating to. At the peak of the PPE shortage in early 2020, Mass hospitals were taking "whatever they could get their hands on", and transparencies were as good as it got. Now they have zero interest in any sort of 3D printed supplies and have plenty of certified PPE available (of which I'm very glad).
