3D Printed Face Shield

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4292328

I uploaded a quick easy to print 3D printed face shield. This is based off the model by:

https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/

I have included both the STL and the Fusion 360 files.

I solved three problems with the original design:

1. Healthworkers didn't like the curls at the end since it conflicted with face mask straps and headbands so now the ends are straight.

2. I changed it to use a standard 3 hole punch. It doesn't attached to as many places but it isn't a problem because of the other fixes.

3. Each of the three visor attachment nubs is notched so the plastic goes over easier. This also solved the problem where the visor plastic would tear and fall off.

Now some hospitals will only accept face shields that come up over the head. This could be easily modified but would require a laser cutter or had cutting plus additional material, or extra time 3D printing. Many hospitals will accept this design and they are far faster to produce. So I suggest testing it out.

 

SQL Developer on Mac

I'm doing a little Autonomous Database project so I downloaded SQL Developer for Mac. When I run it I get the error:

SQL Developer requires a minimum of Java 8.
Java 8 can be downloaded from:
 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/

Fortunately this is really easy to fix. I will file a bug so you don't have to make these changes but here's how to fix it.

1. Right click on SQL Developer in the dock and choose Options | Show in Finder
2. Right click on SQLDeveloper.app and choose "Show Package Contents"
3. Double click on Contents and then MacOS
4. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/ and download JDK 1.8 JRE
5. Unzip it and copy the directory into the MacOS directory
6. Open sqldeveloper.sh in any text editor. I commented out everything in the file and pasted in the following:

export PATH=/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/jre1.8.0_251.jre/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/jre1.8.0_251.jre/Contents/Home

/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper

so now sqldeveloper.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

# TMP_PATH=`/usr/libexec/java_home -F -v 1.8`
# if [ -z "$TMP_PATH" ] ; then
#   TMP_PATH=`/usr/libexec/java_home -F -v 9`
#   #TMP_PATH='/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/jre-9.0.4.jre/Contents/Home'
#   if [ -z "$TMP_PATH" ] ; then
#     osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "SQL Developer requires a minimum of Java 8. \nJava 8 can be downloaded from:\n http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/"'
#     exit 1
#   fi
# fi
#
# export JAVA_HOME=$TMP_PATH
#
# if [[ -f $HOME/.sqldeveloper/19.1.0/env.sh ]];
# then
#   source "$HOME/.sqldeveloper/19.1.0/env.sh" >> /dev/null
# elif [[ -f $HOME/.sqldeveloper/env.sh ]];
# then
# source "$HOME/.sqldeveloper/env.sh"  >> /dev/null
# fi
#
#
# here="${0%/*}"
# cd "${here}"
# cd ../Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin
# bash ./sqldeveloper >>/dev/null


export PATH=/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/jre1.8.0_251.jre/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/jre1.8.0_251.jre/Contents/Home

/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper

7. Save sqldeveloper.sh

Now run it and you should get the splash screen.



I actually worked on the core product that SQL Developer uses and built that splash screen, the fancy progress bar graphics and all the loading code of the plugins and migration system.
