2/2 ... Since, after all, making is for everybody. No matter your sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or where you are during your own journey to be your authentic self!

We hope to meet new makers again soon. Until then, be true and be kind.

#PRIDE has a lot of history to it. In 1969 at Stonewall, there was an uprising, a push back to say LGBTQ+ people can exist with the opposite of shame, which is pride. We here at kwartzlab want you to be able to do more than come visit, we want you to feel welcome and safe. 1/2

Thank you to the hundreds of volunteer helpers who made the #CommunityShield possible. We can’t post the video here so please check it out on Facebook: https://t.co/YpnLgev2GN it’s been a tremendous ride and you all helped Canada in a time of exteme crisis. Thanks to @InkSmith3D.

[The Canadian Shield @canshieldppe]

New all-time record for #TheCanadianShield team - we’ve officially produced 1 MILLION shields in just 5 DAYS! Huge shoutout to our amazing team for achieving this milestone. #canadianppe

[Kwartzlab @kwartzlab]

Huge thanks to @PSHSAca for supporting delivery of our #CommunityShield to in-need users all over Ontario. Since their customers have a huge overlap with our customers they decided to use their negotiated courier discounts and just pay the whole tab. #InThisTogether @canshieldppe

[Kwartzlab @kwartzlab]

As the #CommunityShield project winds down we have more shields available to send to in-need groups. We delivered 100 to @Workingcentre today, but if your community organization needs some please request here: https://t.co/wAjA2MVlCE. Commercial visit: @canshieldppe & @InkSmith3D

[InkSmith @InkSmith3D]

InkSmith and @kwartzlab would like to thank everyone who contributed to the #CommunityShield project over the past two months. The project will be slowly wrapping up now that @canshieldppe is in a position to take over donations.

[Kwartzlab @kwartzlab]

As of today we have shipped 10,500 #CommunityShield to in-need organizations all over Canada. From British Columbia to Nova Scotia and almost every province in between. Thanks to @InkSmith3D for supporting this journey as well as thanks to our many tireless volunteers! #StopCovid

[InkSmith @InkSmith3D]

We've partnered with @CivilianPrintCo to bring you two t-shirts that make an impact! Proceeds from the #CommunityShield tee help cover shipping costs of 3D printed parts across the province and proceeds from #TheCanadianShield tee will go to @Nutrition4Learn and @FoodBankWatReg.

[InkSmith @InkSmith3D]

Thank you to our friends over at @kwartzlab for partnering with us on the #CommunityShield project! These volunteers are working diligently to collect, clean, assemble, and distribute 3D printed PPE face shields for in-need healthcare providers.

Check out their cool t-shirts!

[Kwartzlab @kwartzlab]

@Prytoo @InkSmith3D Your family is awesome! Thanks for all the hard work on this project!

[Kwartzlab @kwartzlab]

We have been distributing to groups such as midwives, pharmacists, food banks, retirement homes, community kitchens, shelters and more. Basically groups whose budgets are already razor thin and who don’t normally need PPE. We are NOT distributing to individuals... yet.

[Kwartzlab @kwartzlab]

In partnership with @InkSmith3D & makers across Canada, we have distributed nearly 5,000 #CommunityShield to in-need groups across ON. Know a group that needs them? Share this form: https://t.co/G7TEATtntG
Need more than 100?: https://t.co/DFcILqcAmq #wraweaome #canadaunited

Huge thank you to the team @TridomeBuilds - they donated their sanitation tent to help us get our #TheCanadianShield manufacturing going.
If anyone knows where this could help, Tridome is willing to donate again! #WereAllInThisTogether
