Step 4The Wire & Finished Mechanism

The Wire & Finished Mechanism
A paper clip can suffice for the wire, but I find that it is a bit flimsy and doesn't hold the rubber band at very high tension, so I use this 14 gauge galvanized wire. It is stiff enough to hold a well wound rubber band, but supple enough to bend without too much effort.

Cut 6" of wire or unbend a paper clip for the harness.

Bend it according to the template on the mask .pdf and, using the notches anchor the ends if the rubber band with the wire straddling the spool.
Set the mechanism aside.
