COVID-19 quarantine: what should you 3D print to keep busy?

As the weeks pass, more and more countries are affected by COVID-19, and a huge number of people are in self-quarantine. 3D printing has been playing an important role in helping medical staff and the healthcare sector in recent weeks. Many initiatives have been put in place to produce emergency equipment such as 3D printed masks, shields, goggles, ventilators and more. Additionally, 3D printing can have a much less vital but also important role during this health crisis: finding occupations and productive ways to keep busy if you are stuck at home for several weeks or even months! We’ve compiled a list of 10 STL files that you will be able to 3D print from home – perfect for children and adults. Of course, we reiterate the importance of this period of self-quarantine and invite you to stay home as much as possible by respecting the security measures put in place by your government during the pandemic.
