If you have a 3D printer there are several places that are looking for PPE and medical supplies. If you are a user of The Spaghetti Detective you probably received the email, but their user forum has a section dedicated to the COVID-19 if you would like more info on how to help. You can also find more info at GetUsPPE.org. There are many places in need so I currently have 2 printers working nearly 24/7 on making respirator masks and face shield headbands as fast as I can. (and thinking about buying a 3rd printer to make even more)
I dont want to name them publicly here without their consent but there are 5 members who have chipped a nice chunk of change to help me with supplies so I want to say THANK YOU to those guys! You know who you are!!
You can also find sponsors that are offering filament and other materials at very generous discounts to use for your donated PPE. There is likely a local hospital or clinic in your area that is running low on supplies and would love the donations.
So for what its worth - it may be a good way to put your printers to work and help out!
I hope you are all doing well and finding ways to stay positive and healthy. I think some of us are in areas that are more locked down than others and are starting to get a little stir crazy! I know I am!!
Thanks for you time and take care O Forum!
