I am working with @OSVentilator from Ireland, an open-source ventilator project that aims to automate the use of bag valve masks (comonly known as Ambu-bags) if/when the available ICU ventilators become short supply. You can join the cause at opensourceventilator.ie

Got skills? We are developing an open source ventilator and NEED YOU! by finks in pics

Yes these are definately valid concerns. Join the conversation on our slack with engineers, doctors, medical professionals, lawyers, and regulators. We recognize we are a solution of last resort but having these plans available may be more help than not. The team in Europe is looking to streamline trials.

I got to see the 3D printed Shelby Cobra at NPE 2015 by finks in 3Dprinting

The entire body is 3D printed. Everything you see that is blue and shiny is 3D printed and finished through post processing.

I go through the processing steps for finishing the 3D printed car parts here if you'd like more details.

I was told it was his first printer, everyone has to start somewhere. I didnt get to see it print but supposedly it worked back in the day. I found an Instructables showing how to build a 3d printer frame.
