I tried printing several of the different designs and found that the print times were very long (2 to 3 hours each.)
This design takes about 1 hour to print.
It could be redesigned and cut down to print faster but this would impact the overall sturdiness of the design and limit its reusabilty.

I decided to design my own just for fun. The design is a single piece unit that can use one or two standard elastic bands to add functionality.

A single band can be used across the back if the ear pieces are not tight enough and the shield slips on a smaller head.
A secondary band can be used to help hold the actual shield material a little tighter to the headband if desired.
I made the centre (forehead) and side (temple) areas a little larger so, if desired, an adhesive pad cold be applied to improve comfort, should the shield be worn for extended periods of time.

The top of the shield, above the forehead is closed to improve safety coverage.

There are 3 models included.
