As we continue the fight against COVID-19 in our communities, we strive to keep out healthcare workers and those on the front lines protected. Many of these workers are wearing face masks with ear loops that begin to pull on your ears and cause discomfort with prolonged use. This adjustable ear guard will protect your ears while still providing proper protection.

Supplies

  • CO2 laser cutter (We used a Trotec Speedy 360 80W with a 2" lens)
  • TroLase 0.06" (1.6mm) thickness (available at link below)
