How to Clean up a Shield Frame

Update: frame clean up is now much easier than this in my effort to keep volunteering easy and fun:) 

Again thanks for volunteering. One the 10 important steps in making a shield is cleaning up the frame of the little bits of plastic remaining after I belt sand the supports between each frame after they 3D print in a stack.



There is no certain order. The most important thing is checking for these main areas below for cleaning. A good rule I follow as I do every step is I tell myself "work on this shield like it's going to be the shield I'd be wearing for myself."  We strive for quality, yet understand perfection would slow our important work down. We all just do our best and work with zero pressure.


We have supplies to do each job on the porch in Woodbury. We use tools like a razor to remove the rough edges. Please use a cut resistant glove. They are in 3 sizes in the bin. I'm just a nurse trying to make free shields to help in the covid crisis so I can't provide health insurance or help if you are accidentally injured.
