Takes the stress off your ears when using a face mask, adjustable ratcheting design allows you to tighten strap freely, however you need to depress button to loosen the ear saver.
The original design linked above tends to come apart frequently, when putting it on, or just randomly when wearing it.
I have adapted the original design to add 2 bridges next to the button in the center, these slide with the design and don't get caught in the mechanism as they are on the other side of the ear saver.
You can no longer just snap the parts together as it is more enclosed than the original, to assemble the part follow below instructions:

Take the piece without the "R" on it and place it in front of you so the bumps are facing down.


Take the piece with the "R" on it and place it in front of you with the "R" symbol facing in the correct orientation.


Slide the piece without the "R" on into the right hand side of the piece with the "R" symbol on it, when this piece hits the "Push" button, depress the button to allow the intersecting part to pass over the button.


Once over the button push the right hand side of the intersecting piece into the gap between the second bridge and the button.

Gently tighten the ratcheting strap by pushing it into the mechanism.
The mechanism may be tight right after printing so take care not to break it. Be careful and act carefully.
Enjoy!!
