Is 500 Likes on this VIDEO POSSIBLE?? Help us out🔥

[@augustclimbing]

Added my like. You’re so close!

[@itsdjslime44]

It is possible

[@loganwassill7003]

Let’s see it in action compared to popular climbing shoes

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Next video idea?😜

[@Crazyoldman84]

Create a pair for a top ten climber and see what they think?

[@XD-bc6oz]

Such a cool concept! Can’t wait to hear more about this project

[@Jonathan_sin88]

it's gonna happen!1 stay tuned!

[@L1mZH]

This is really cool, I also believe that polyjet may not print materials that suitable for climbing due to the mechanical properties. There's actually a company called ATHOS that has been developing 3D-printed shoes using MJF printing, which prints using polymer powder which may be a little better in terms of mechanical properties.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

We will go deeper in this project soon!! stay tuned!

[@sethdesplinter5087]

I would like to talk more about this with you, thank you!

[@oliverbarry7160]

There's a company called ATHOS in Barcelona doing a similar thing. This makes me excited about the future of climbing shoes!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Madrock has been doing 3D printing shoes as well but from a mass production level!

[@GohanX5]

This video is a combination of my two favorite topics: 3d printing and Climbing. So cool

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Glad you enjoyed!!!

[@ocha9520]

i would love to see a test!!!! I'm also a product design student and would love to see how it holds up in a gym and if this could actually be a sellable, working product

[@giusepperavagnan187]

Fantastic idea! I’m really curious to see it fully developed and in action

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank youu!!! Will try to make it happen

[@NKCubed]

you gotta make sure they last as long as regular shoes and feel as good outside of fit, but climbing shoes feel like a great actual use of 3D printed shoes (a lot more than just regular street shoes)

[@MeIsYellow]

Would love to see it used during climbing. Won't it be easy to break the shoe on a small or sharp foot hold?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

It’s just very expensive for us broke students to try it out haha🤣

[@JohnSmith-tr9us]

​@@Jonathan_sin88 cool story bro

[@SendEdition]

I certainly think that more custom shoes are on the horizon and this is a cool video showing one way to do that. Thanks for sharing!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

YAA! I think as a prove of concept it was a great starting point, thank you for check this out!

[@Zaphod_]

This is pretty cool, but my question is: How long will it last?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

As long as we get some sponsors to help us test it out properly, we will make sure to test it out🤣

[@testboga5991]

Not long at all and the friction is bad as well.

[@lutze5086]

Unintentional shoe making pun

[@TheKevinFanClub526]

On the stratasys page about the polyjet, which is the rubbery material used, there is no mentioning about wear resistance or strength. Chances are this material will not last long at all. However, given this is only for proof of concept, a specialized material has to be developed for making shoes.

[@micaelamoreira2229]

This is so amazing! I would love to hear more about what went into the research and design of the project. Please update soon!

[@lockwinghong]

Wow, that is a beast of a 3D printer.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Not even the most insane one

[@Rubafix989]

I'd love to see someone climbing with those! Do you plan on doing a followup video? Thanks!

[@MSHNKTRL]

When this hits the wider market, and pros are spending $5000 on printed Balenciagas, we can say "Oh yeah, I 've known about for a while, now."

[@markifi]

i keep saying we need shoes to be more expensive. thank you for working towards the goal! /s

[@ElJitomateElectrico]

This is about to be a very popular business … just a little time , trust me

[@MrBoubource]

Liked and subscribed ! Can't wait to see it in action !

[@ItsJustWolff]

Recently saw a similar type of project for vr with ladar scan of the face for a perfect fit on the face. Was wondering if it was possible for climbing shoes and this is absolutely spot on what i expected someone could do. Great project 500 is steep but also what it costs for such a specific varient of a shoe. Keep it up :)

[@SInkiHui1997]

Holy shit this is so amazing. Can't believe its designed in Hong Kong as well, proud to be a HongKonger!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

REPRESENT 💪

[@jamesholt9206]

Good to see you repping the Climbing Works T-shirt!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

😉good eye for noticing

[@lykaon666]

Awesome project

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Caius is a beast!

[@augustclimbing]

La Sportiva should hire you guys!!

[@Jonathan_sin88]

always looking for a job!!1 hook us up ahha

[@augustclimbing]

@@Jonathan_sin88 hopefully they, or one of the other climbing shoe brands, are watching this 😄

[@SnowmansApartment]

i think printing the rubber is not the best solution.. you could just tailor the fabric to fit your foot perfectly and calculate the optimal rubber thickness, stiffness and position for your foot, mark it on the fabric and have it be a product that can be resoled. No need to print something that is tailored for you all the time, once should suffice, at least once every few years

[@Jonathan_sin88]

That’s a great idea too!!

[@SnowmansApartment]

also, there is a company called ATHOS that also experimented with 3d printing climbing shoes :) And if your friend is looking into bespoke climbing gear, one thing that may be interesting is a bespoke hangboard where you can archive that every finger is in a 90° angle. This would be very interesting and a nice contrast to only training on straight edges. It could resolve imbalance between fingers(like having pinkies that are extremely weak in a half crimp position, as they may only be used in a drag position..) This should also be very easy to calculate and plan using a 3d scan of the hand, and 3d printable.

[@Marco-oq1jc]

great stuff!!!!!!🤩🤩

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thanks Marco 😜

[@Greesher]

Really gotta see them in action.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I should start a go fund me for this project🤣

[@yamilsimes4978]

i think that it will be great for psycobloc, because of the material

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thank you for watching!!

[@flyingmonkey3822]

But did it work?

[@masonorsagh4377]

Literally the only thing I wanted to see was someone climbing in them

[@Jonathan_sin88]

ITS COMING!!!

[@arzan669]

Are you gonna try and use them

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Hopefully soon😎

[@SuperMarijus]

need test video

[@borbilla6254]

🤯🤯🤯 ..

[@elosozelo]

but can it run Crysis?

[@paedae16]

Cool idea, but who wants a climbing shoe that fits their normal relaxed foot shape? Wouldn't it be pretty rough on any type of edge?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

I guess we didn't think about CLIMBERS LOVE PAIN! AHHA

[@jlehm]

Do your research first. Athos, a Spanish based company, started 3d printing shoes in 2022, and has released to market shoes in 2023.

[@andrew8445]

Fit is 1/2 why you buy a shoe…without materials like xs edge rubber this show wouldn’t even compare to current models. Most shoes aren’t made with one piece of rubber either, and there’s a reason for that, giving it flex where needed and firmness to provide better edging. This shoe seems to be focused on fit, but not at all on anything else. Making a mold of your foot isn’t groundbreaking, having a 3d printing material that mimics climbing rubber? That would be sick. The hype around this seems to not understand why we spend money on shoes, or the fact that a majority of climbers are dirt bags who would never spend 500 $ on shoes. If there was a demand for this, we’d see more of them.

[@testboga5991]

This is guaranteed bullshit. While 3D printed shoes can offer excellent fit, that's not what's limiting climbing shoes. Material properties of the used rubber, fabric and leather are. And compared to those, the properties of resin are complete garbage. I print with such materials every day and know what I'm talking about. All of them suffer from low tensile strength, creep under constant load, particularly at body temperature, poor abrasion resistance, poor resistance against tearing once the surface has been compromised, poor resistance to chemicals and water. In addition, while manufacturers claim biocompatibility, I wouldn't want to have this stuff on my skin for long. These problems will also never change, because the need to deposit the material in place forbids using high performance materials that rely on specialized chemistry or internal structure. Try printing carbon fiber reinforced materials. None of the printable ones are even close to laminated ones, except those that basically print a laminate and have other restrictions.

[@bambuzzz]

I really like the idea of a perfect fitting shoe. Espacally because i need two diffentent sizes for my feet. But i also totaly agree with you. A good fit is just one of the many features that a shoe must have. Besides, a shoe that has the exact dimensions of the foot is not a perfect fit. After a few uses at the latest, the shape is stretched and the shoe is too big. There are reasons why we (almost all) buy shoes that are too small. A downscaling of the foot shape would not help here either, as the shoe is loaded differently at different positions.

[@khakicampbell6640]

I was very excited about this project, but you make many accurate observations.

[@khakicampbell6640]

@@bambuzzz That's a good point.

[@Jonathan_sin88]

Thanks for your insight🔥Sounds like you know your stuff

[@georgestone8099]

Lol, I think you overestimate how much money professional climbers make if you think they can afford $3k pairs of shoes

[@sethdesplinter5087]

That's $3,000 HKD = $500 USD with development I'm sure the price & time would come down!

[@6996Gunslinger]

theres a better solution stop buying downsized shoes

[@EricSchles]

Shut up and take my money! Where is your kick starter or other funding mechanism?

[@Jonathan_sin88]

ITS just a prototype for now, we will be releasing more on this project soon!

[@sciencesaves]

Without rubber where that PLA is they won’t even be decent to climb in
