A team of local entrepreneurs, engineers and medical professionals have begun designing and printing masks and hope to begin printing ventilators for use by pationets.
Check the following posts to see their progress
Update:myself @yeknology & @ruff_gong are still working on the solution to build working ventilators locally using 3D printing. in the meantime tho we just printed this visor for healthcare workers.simple solution while we tackle the ventilator problem.still need support.RT&Tag https://t.co/ue6ub6GgVU

CopyAssembly of Mask
Video of the assembly, application and basic stability test. It's waterproof so can possibly be easily disassembled and washed for reuse https://t.co/dTuL73pYGt pic.twitter.com/IuP1g9f32I

Also, we are printing splitters that will allow for 4 patients to be connected to one ventilator. #major pic.twitter.com/UOudAo0aWt

CopyVentilator Proof of Concept
1/This vid is V1 of our POC emergency ventilator. Built by a local team of bright engineers and drs. We are following FDA guidelines to refine and add the necessary sensors, valves and metres. This is a similar concept to that put fwd by MIT. pic.twitter.com/95o5TmtmS3
