Anyone here using the photon to print something covid related? like masks or valves.

I printed an N95 mask on my FDM printer.. But valves can be printed on the Photons for ventilators using the right resin..

I tried to optimise this one for Photon but haven't printed it yet

Isn’t resin toxic? The stuff most of us hobby printers isn’t food safe. So I can’t imagine it’d be good to have resting on your skin or breath through. It’d have to be the right kind of resin.

there are a lot more than that, but biomedical resin is pretty expensive.

, most of it is, absolutely.. However they do have very specific food safe and biomedical safe resin that can be used.. It's just VERY expensive..

they even have an anti-bacterial PLA too. I ran across a YouTube video for mask printing using the anti-bacterial filament. And I believe it was on the pricey side too. But likely a lot more cheaper than specialized resin.

PTEG, as a plastic, is generally considered food safe on the fillament side, but you still run the risk of the FDM printing with 'holes' and gaps, ever with the best of settings.

I wasn’t referencing Food related printing. I believe the original post was related to medical style respirators and the like. I was only bringing up that I viewed a video of a respirator being printed but using an anti-bacterial filament. My sole point is there is such a thing as an anti-bacterial filament.
