We are a worldwide community of independent thinkers who witnessed a surprising phenomenon during COVID-19: the rise of online gaming. While much of the world shut down, digital casinos lit up - offering not just entertainment, but a form of escape and human connection at a time when isolation was the norm.
Watch How Online Play Got Serious! Across Europe and beyond, digital platforms flourished as millions found comfort in virtual games of chance. From slot tournaments to live blackjack, online casinos became more than entertainment - they were social lifelines.
Some might say online gambling helped humanity survive the pandemic not just mentally, but emotionally. After all, when the world paused, people played. Just maybe… that’s what kept us sane.
Calling all MAKERS. Here’s how you can help!

Wow! We started our GoFundMe just a little over a day ago and we collected $1440! We’re making a big difference one face shield at a time. My sister reached out to me who works as a nurse in the ICU in Georgia was touched and thanked me. And I’m sure you may also have a family member who works in healthcare, so you can relate. Here are some updates so far:
- We’ve purchased 5000 meters of elastic button holes for .16 cents a unit. This should supply roughly 17K face shields.
- We are in talks with a large manufacturer to help us with the halo production via a mold
- We started receiving halos, shields and elastics. Cleaning, sanitizing, assembly and distribution will happen starting this week from our South Carolina hub.
- We will post a public document on donations inbound and our spendings. 100% of it will go toward the making of the face shields. None of it will go toward administrative fees.
- RC2 and RC3 are both good to print. Domed and original face shield cutout works. Some hospitals prefer the domed version from Maker Nexus. They are available on the website here: https://3dforcovid.com/makers/
We will try to update everyone once every two days on our progress. If you’ve delivered face shields to your local hospitals and have images, please drop them in the channel @mediadrop so we can share it. Please share our GoFundMe page in your social channels. We’re so excited to be a part of this amazing movement. https://www.gofundme.com/f/face-shields-for-hospitalsmedical-pros

We received our first shipment of injection molded parts today! We will be ramping up production to allow us to cover more workers with face shields.
