I've just offered to help out with a UK based initiative that was advertised on the BBC news site

Probably not the most cost effective way of getting kit to people who need it, but every little helps. Posting in case anyone else feels like lending a hand where they can.

I'm sure other countries will have their own versions of this.

That's interesting. Will definitely have a look on it.

Though I doubt I can be much of help with one small printer and only Matte forge filament

It's a really cool idea, and there's an initiative like this in the US, too:

I've moved this to the OT forum since that's where we discuss non-wargaming news. If anyone starts printing stuff for these please post pics, might inspire others to do so, too!

Problem is that Filament aint free.

I signed up for the 3D crowd UK earlier. They'll fund filament, it says.
I'd already printed off one of Prusa's masks. The PETG turned up today, to do masks able to be sterilised.

Nowhere wants them yet though.
