Printing the sizing guides, first 5 done
07/16/2020 at 19:54 • 0 commentsI made these frames easily stackable both in the same size and sizing down as you can see. I do need to hit them with a sander real quick to smooth them off. It is a side affect of faster printing or lower resolution, but just as a sizing guide this works well to produce them quickly in hours instead of days. Realistically once all the bucks are printed we can have vacuum formed sizing guides. I am doing this first to determine how far down I need to go down.

Sizing kit for UCPLA and Vacuum Tables
07/08/2020 at 06:31 • 0 commentsso as you saw in the last update I have made scaled versions of the model in 3 percent increments. These are the vacuum tables to make the first prototypes. I emailed hackaday about getting UCPLA to test out the blob controller and how they would like to do that, and I can send them this sizing file so they can print the general range of mask frames to custom fit their CP individuals. Also I realize that sometimes developmental issues happen resulting In deformity. In this case thermoplastic sheets can be warmed in hot water or blow dryer and shape adjust so it is perfect to that person.

RGB BLOB controller
06/26/2020 at 10:28 • 0 commentsintroducing the first sketches of the RGB BLOB controller, round with multi color buttons sticking out. Each button coordinating with a color. The power, brightness and Strobe button to get attention I suppose with be white with a Embossed painted symbol. The bottom of the controller houses 16 rechargeable AA batteries. In our prototype we are using Amazon 2400 mah batteries, but you could use Alkaline if you wanted ( but seriously why waste the money?!). The module inside is Bluetooth and could be completely disconnected from the RGB system if the user wanted to, but the idea here is that there will be a plug in on the end to control the RGB lights as well as power them.

Ver 3 RGB light mask soldered w additional leds
06/25/2020 at 04:52 • 0 commentsI needed to put the strips into a more permanent position. I would like to have more LEDS closer together, but a opaque filter to disperse the light more evenly would be nice.

1st Build log
06/25/2020 at 00:43 • 0 commentsSince this is a continuation of a previous project, which was to make a clear N95 mask, we already have a frame to work with. Of course, this frame can also have a filter and clear cover added just like the original. This project is in response to feedback from Cerebral Palsy Center in San Francisco. That it would be beneficial to allow the users to set a color to their desired mood expression. This would give individuals who have trouble communicating or are non verbal a outlet of expression.
