Free Face Mask Clip 'Ear Saver' Design (3D Print File and SVG)

Crafters have gone into action making homemade fabric masks and face coverings and now many with 3D printers are  to helping save ears!

Healthcare workers are saying elastic from wearing masks for long periods of time is causing chaffing behind their ears. While ties are one option and a full piece of elastic around the head is another, supplies are in short supply so sometimes masks with elastic ear straps are the only option.  Those can be made more comfortable by using a mask clip to secure the elastic behind the head rather than behind the ears.

Today I'm sharing a free Mask Clip Design that I like to call the Ear Saver. I've been printing these on the Silhouette Alta 3D printer.
