GraveDigger - TPU 3D-printed shoes

I made these shoes as a project while I learned grasshopper. Proceed at your own risk. They're not comfortable, and you may break your ankle in them.

The design is a TPU torture test for your printer (I used Shore 95A-ish). My unmodified MK3S did fine, not sure how yours will perform. 

Expect to print them a few times and spend 6+ hours with assembly/cleanup.

• Uppers: TPU: 
  • Use Prusaslicer's paint on support to put a little support dot on each post. 
  • You may have to turn/adjust the shoe to get it to fit in a mk3s build envelope. 
  • I did need support for the upper surface of each foot (see pictures).
  • Used a soldering iron to punch in shoelaces holes as desired. 
  • Also had to use the soldering iron to smooth out the inner surfaces to the TPU blobs wouldn't cut my foot.
• Lowers (TPU): 
  • Paint a support onto just the bottom surface so it will stick.
• Sole (PLA): 
  • Don't print it solid. I used 3 x 0.4mm perimeters with a 15% gyroid infill. 
  • Support in the 3 areas highlighted in the images.
• Tread (TPU): 
  • Nothing fancy here, had to clean it up with a hobby knife to get some pegs to fit.
• Insole: (TPU): 
  • 13 percent gyroid infill, you may have to tweak based on body weight. You want it pretty stiff.
  • Printed in the orientation shown (don't let the support onto the angled edges, or you'll never get it off and it won't fit in the PLA sole. 
  • Removing this support was a bear and messed up the bottom surface, but you'll never see it.
• Shoelaces: 1/8 thin waxed shoelace, I used these from Amazon. They weren't an exact color match: VSUDO Waxed Round Shoelaces, 1/8" Thick Shoe Laces for Oxford or Dress Shoes (2 Pairs-Yellow-140CM)
• Mirror everything to get right/left pairs.
• Sizing (appx): See the image for international sizes.
  •  8.5 US womens
  • 12 US mens

To assemble, glue everything in place with superglue. 

Don't make anyone else wear these, and don't be surprised when they're not comfortable.

If you make a pair, please take a picture/video and post it. I'd love to see how they turned out.
