Weeks 15 - 20

During my project, I encountered a lot of hickups and setbacks. Becouse of the scope of my project, and the materials / machinery I needed, I knew on beforehand that it would be a difficult task to fulfill my project objectives.

Firstly, I received some feedback from my contacts whom belong to my target group. They told me that they are still reluctant to use public transportation and taxi services, even when they've installed protection screens. The airflow in the car can still make them sick, they stated.

Above of that, it was incredibly difficult to get my hands on the appriopriate materials and machines I need for my project. To cast a large sheet of bioplastic, I ordered an acrylate plate from Gamma. I waited 1 1/2 week for it, and then I received the message that the acrylate plates are not available anymore. I had to switch from material, and I decided to buy a mirror. It is 90 x 45 cm, so it's too small to cast the car protection screen I wanted to make originaly.

That was the point that I decided to switch my focus from car protection screens to smaller protection screens. I will make face protection masks like these:
