Usage and manufacturing, mostly taken from PrusaPrinters faceshield:

Usage:

If you are planning to use this device for :

• Please test before using in a real situation. the device's performance depends on the manufacturing condition.
• This will likely be not as good as similar parts from approved sources.
• 3D printed items can be porous and permeable. Please take this into account when considering reutilization.
• Use at your own risk and have redundant safety precautions

Manufacturing:

• Act as if you were infected by the COVID-19 virus. Wear a face mask and a fresh pair of gloves when collecting each batch of printed parts. Store the parts immediately in a sealable bag.
• Talk with whoever you’re making the clamps for, let them know about your manufacturing environment
• There is still debate about how long the virus survives on plastic, but most sources mention 2-3 days. That means that by letting the packed clamps sit for 2-3 days before distributing them, you’ll greatly reduce risk of transmission
• Do not store the entire stock in one place, minimize the risk of cross contamination
• Do not hesitate to contact me with feedback or to ask for source code
