I know it's not necessarily moto related, but I also know it concerns all of us, as CoVid19 is a threat to us and everyone we know.
You've probably heard that somewhere in the world people printed the missing valves on the 3D printer for the respirator. Fasten your seatbelts, because Poles from VentilAid have just published a totally OPEN SOURCE DESIGN OF A PRINTED RESPIRATOR. Of course, you need to buy a few basic parts for it, but in general the machine is X times cheaper than the factory, simple in design and can be produced locally where it is needed in greater numbers. Downloads are here: http://www.ventilaid.org/
Parts for one ventilator take approx 15 hours to be printed. Every day of printing can save another human life. If you know 3D printing or have such printers and a supply of filament at home, you know what to do.
This pandemic is a baptism of fire for us as people in terms of solidarity and humanity, for business with social responsibility and flexibility. But it is also a test for our ability to think analytically, find custom solutions and creativity - apparently we are passing this test quite well. Let's try together so that it remains until the end of this unique state.
I am probably the first to post it, so I ask you all as you read it to share this information - also in foreign media, because in other countries respirators are needed ASAP, and the site is in English for a reason.
I would like to remind you that you should still stay at home as part of the campaign # flatteningurve
Apologies to GuyB and the Vital team if it's against any of the Vital rules, just wanted to share the news, as it might help somebody.
