We're helping the NHS!


Here at Stormsure’s base we are 3D printing face shields to donate to the NHS in order to protect nurses and doctors who are doing the most amazing job helping people with COVID-19.
So far nearly 50 have been printed here and I am now able to produce six or seven a day with each printer.
To get this project going Stormsure has offered some seed funding and manpower. Georgie, who is running the project, is an engineering student stranded at home. She has raised some more funds herself from friends and family on her GoFundMe page (Please donate!). To ramp up this program quickly we need more funds for materials and 3d printing machines.
Donations will also be used to buy plastic filament to be used in the printers, maintenance costs and spare parts and most importantly to buy more printers so that these face shields can be printed at a faster speed. Part of the funds raised so far have been used to buy the second printer, costing £370, which will can print these masks at twice the rate as it is bigger and faster than the first small junior machines we had available.






I have already been lent one printer and given another so we have three going full speed, and we are now able to produce about 20 face shields a day. We need to get to 100 a day of we can.
I have made 50 shields already which have been donated to hospitals, GP surgeries, care homes and ambulance crews all around the country!
Surplus funds will be donated to Cruse Bereavement Counselling, East Anglian Air Ambulance, Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust, and charities that help people in the aftermath of this Covid-19 crisis.
Thank you!!
