CNET magnetic mask clip
Description
Having previously made a wide variety of PPE devices on a 3D printer, I still hadn’t found exactly what I was looking for. Using mostly cloth masks (yes, hand-made by my mother) and more recently a black bandanna worthy of a stagecoach robbery, I wanted an easy way to put on and take off my face covering, while also holding it in place securely. So I fired up a 3D design program, in this case the easy to use (and free) browser-based Tinkercad, and started designing my own set of mask clips. One of my favorite 3D printing tricks is to combine 3D printed parts with magnets to create more useful designs, so I sketched out a set of mask clips that don’t require you to tie anything or latch plastic clips together. Instead, my clips use small magnets to clash together securely. In this case I used magnets with a diameter of 8mm and a depth of 3mm, I got them at a hardware store, but they’re easy to find online as well.
