Highlights Providers are at risk for contracting COVID-19 due to close patient contact. Proper personal protective equipment use is critical to providing a safe environment. Face shields are an alternative for enhancing protection given the shortage of N95. We present the detailed protocol for printing 3D face shields in a timely manner. This protocol is aimed to individuals with little to no 3D printing experience.
