Powered, Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) and More.
I have been working on these designs a few years ago and have plans for commercial plastic injection molded add-ons / that enable disposable and face respirators to be airtight. They require a scuba mouthpiece and nose clips.
Once installed ALL air goes through scuba mouthpiece and through air filters, NO leakage from side of masks or for people with beards (like myself and why I created these, so I do not have to shave my beard).
Due to COVID-19 I’m posting my 3D prototypes for personal use. With hopes of finding support and funds that I have no way to get myself.
OLD ver. 0.01 3M Large 6300 mask with 2mm thick Magic Tape 15mm Scuba Mouthpiece (3D printing settings, 0.2mm layer height, bridge YES, NO supports Supports built into STL, manual remove after print. Also, clear breathing tubes single layer of print to enable bridge setting verses support use. Sand flat before applying 2 sided tape.)

Place disposable mask on device and out line its shape on device with pencils while the mask is laying flat on the edges. This device is for masks that are formed to bend around mouth and nose.

Place double-sided tape within and over the trace of the mask your going to use. Cover entire loop of outside of disposable mask. When mask in installed only the outside of the mask should touch device, with double sided tape between.
Install scuba mouthpiece and test unit. Fix any leaks.
Verify tape is holding while using and no leaks appear. ANY leakage will void the desired protection.
Version 4 Using 2x N95 masks with exhale valve. Using just regular double-sided tape in these pictures from mid last year so the tape is giving out in current pictures.
