​@@CNCKitchen Yep and "wearing it" surely adds to the style :) @properprinting It really looked more painful than what I imagined from you telling about it. So thumbs up for not even bringing a backup pair along and just going for it. That's also adding to the style. "Wie mooi wil zijn, moet pijnlijden" as we say in Dutch.

[@properprinting]

I'm finishing 2024 with this idea of classy 3D printed shoes that I've been talking about for 2 years now. By setting this tight deadline, I forced myself to finally get this done. Far from being perfect, but I believe that this idea is worth exploring further. What do you think? Happy New Year everybody!

[@a1hamer]

Walk what you made. Beter dan houten klompen haha. Stephan heeft in zn filmke van formnext laten zien hoe voeten gescant worden met een iphone en daarvan worden inlegzolen geprint. Ik kan me voorstellen dat met een combi van verschillende materialen via toolchanger en een semi open struktuur toplaag het eindresultaat stukken beter zou zijn. Maar , weer een super video !

[@Declopse]

Maak een betere versie alsjeblieft! Dan hebben we een oneindige voorraad aan modieuze 3D geprinte schoenen!

[@glabifrons]

@properprinting This was fantastic! I have two minor suggestions. First, see if you can get Barge contact-cement in the red and yellow can. It's nasty, but possibly not as nasty as the stuff you used. It is a contact cement, so bonds instantly to itself (read the instructions!) while remaining extremely flexible. It's phenomenal for shoe repair. I've re-attached soles to shoes multiple times with it over the decades. The other is to add a layer of soft fabric inside at the rear, like felt or something similar. This is because every shoe I've ever owned that had a grippy material behind the heel induced significant abrasion resulting in exactly what you showed when you peeled your sock down (I'm sorry you had to go through that, it's more painful than it looks).

[@Derived_One]

Add some pressure sensors and accelerometers to make a smart shoe?

[@TheOtherPlayer]

Reliability via discovering every failure mode haha, I’ve been down that road too

[@hellothere6627]

For everyone else watching that want to try to make their own shoes, you don’t need a 3D scanner or foam blocks. This is how I did it in a similar way: Use soles from your shoes, draw a line down the middle and lines going out every cm. Using calipers measure the end points and intersections. To make it 3D prop a ruler above the soles and measure down over each point. A 3D sketch in fusion creates a point cloud closely matching your sole. In the fusion forms mode use the plane tool and select the points on the sketch to create the surface of the sole. Use the thicken tool and drag up and refine the top of the shoe. Delete a surface to make the volume a flat plane. Next use the thicken tool (~1mm) again to make the shoe a volume. Drag the bottom surface down to create the shape of the sole. The top and sole of the shoe should be different materials, you likely don’t have an IDEX so the bodies need to be split. Printing separate parts and gluing could work or, make the entire sole removable and that slides into the thin shell of the entire shoe. Use Ninjaflex 85A TPU or the top/shell, normal TPU is too stiff. Normal TPU around 13% infill for the sole with 4 layers where the foot rests. TPU is extremely tough so 2 perimeters is all that’s needed both on top and on the both coming in contact with the ground. Print the ninjaflex slow, I’ve had flawless prints from an unmodified ender 3, so most printers can handle it at slow speeds. My printer is an LNL Tenlog D3, IDEX. It has no issues printing fast with NinjaFlex, just have a direct drive printer with a short and direct filament path.

[@MasterThief117]

What you could try next time is design and print the shoe "unfolded" and flat and then origami it into the shoe shape. This could allow you to design additional features and patterns much easier and might even be more comfortable.

[@properprinting]

I thought about that, but I like the possibility of printing it in one go and have them in the shape already without the need of assembling them.

[@SuperDavidEF]

@@properprinting I don't think of folding as being assembly. If it could be printed flat as one piece, in a shape that folds up into a shoe, that would actually look cool, I think. But something I thought about while watching the video is where you said you could turn it inside out to remove the supports, maybe you could print it inside out, so the supports are on what will be the outside of the finished shoe.

[@lordmemester8798]

​@@SuperDavidEFthat would make for some incredibly complex geometrical manipulation, since turning it inside out puts some areas under tension and others under compression. would still be cool though

[@szurketaltos2693]

But then you have the problem of joining the TPU again. How do you do that without labour intensive stitching? Could try heat but how would you do that in a way that looks nice?

[@mandyj5222]

I honestly LOVE the way these shoes look! I agree the other efforts to 3d print shoes look like slippers, moon boots or Crocs. I'd be proud to print a pair like these for the men in my life! Awesome design! I laughed with you the whole way 😅 Gotta commit to those blisters. Solid effort! I love that so many creators choose the VERY last minute to take on a huge difficult task just in time for the conventions! I love our community. Have a great week all! ✌️🫶

[@bartz0rt928]

I remember reading an article ages ago, probably on Hackaday, that pointed to a paper that did some material studies for multimaterial printed shoes. Might be interesting to have a look at, but the basic gist I recall was to use rigid materials where your body is squishy, and vice versa, to maximize comfort. I also remember an old US army study on how to best prevent blisters; it recommends wearing two pairs of 100% wool socks, a thin pair and then thicker ones over that. Wool breathes, so it's actually not that hot, and since the socks rub past each other you don't get that rubbing against your skin. I once met a drifter who'd always wear wooden clogs and he said the same thing.

The dangers of designing shoes for yourself when you known nothing about designing shoes. I could not imagine the agony of doing a convention on shoes I designed myself.

[@bullzebub]

if you still want to use that wooden filament ... make it three parts. inflexibel filament works over the toes and the heel, flexibel in the middle. also for the soles, i think gyroid infill would be pretty good. so the infill works as a spring. or if you kan make the soles airtight you can have air pockets inside that acts as a cushion.

[@properprinting]

Thanks for the suggestion! I talked to colorFabb and there are options ;)

[@craigsharpe4870]

Honestly great for the 2 weeks you gave yourself to do it. I do see a future for 3d printed shoes in any style. Vending machines that scan your feet and automatically print the ideal shoe for you.

[@davschall]

Double socks is the move here! I have suffered like this in new dress shoes that were not broken in enough, and two pairs of dress socks helped eith the rubbing a ton, even after i developed blisters. I love the original scan shoes and what you came up with dude!

[@alfonsoPina]

You know, I have watched many of your videos and seen the items you have challenged yourself with. All I have to say is, I wish I lived next door to you. I would come every day, sit and watch, and learn. You are a problem solver.

[@kruszielski]

Those shoes look fantastic! Make some "breath" holes on the sides, and your shoes will be much more comfortable in terms of heat (and also will help them be more flexible). Great video, as always, showing the failures as proudly as the successes! This inspires me much more than any other makers do!

[@802Garage]

I think you are truly on to something with this. A few tweaks and some material choices and it will look amazing. Maybe look at using off the shelf in soles? I know that defeats part of the purpose, but for comfort. Also identify hot spots that cause the most pain and add cushioned infill there. Size up the outside of the shoe slightly if necessary. That said, dress shoes don't have much cushion and can still be comfortable, so there is probably a lot of optimization to be done yet.

[@DanielLopez-up6os]

For Ninjaflex a Really smooth Nozzle like the Diamondback helps a lot. also if you make the insoles very thin and just do what everyone does with Dress shoes anyways, use Scholl Gel inserts in them for comfort.

[@KingfisherAbuGarcia]

[@tophatvideosinc.5858]

Reccommend scuffing the shoe "fabric" and soraying them down with matte plasti-dip. Itll remove the glossy plasticy look while filling in the lines a little. And the matte is smooth and still has a little sheen. You can also do a semigloss or whatever finish and color you want. The main benefit is it's flexible and can peel off if you hate it.

[@mozkitolife5437]

Probably your most engaging documentary yet. You really manage to capture the creative/design process and the rollercoaster of emotion during your failures and successes. I’m sure you’ll land on a final design/process to plug the hole in the 3D-printed dress shoe space. Question: is this a personal goal or will you have a marketable product?

[@chris993361]

I struggled with super soft tpu on the X1C and then I made one important change: I put the tpu on a spool directly about the printer and fed into a super short piece of ptfe sticking out of the top of the hotend. Reducing all the drag all the pulling direction led to reliable printing of 83A tpu. I did have one other issue with a soft tpu I tried but after beating my head against a wall, it turned out the diameter of that tpu was inconsistent and got too thin for the extruder gears to grab onto.

something that might be interesting would be to make sheets of something semi-flexible like amphora or tpu and bend them with a heat gun/hair dryer, you could use a textured bed that way

[@properprinting]

That's interesting indeed, especially when using a textured bed. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@satibel]

​@@properprinting plus it should be a lot easier to do, find a pattern for leather oxford shoes, then trace and extrude it, and you can use your parametric design to set the measurements. also you could try tricking the slicer into making a fabric-like pattern for breathing by reducing the flow rate to like 50-90% but increase the extrusion size by the inverse (so like 0.8 with 50% flow rate or 0.534 with 75% to get a regular 0.4mm extrusion on your 0.4mm nozzle.) which should create gaps in-between the extrusions (use 2 layer rectilinear, though you can do more fancy things, an interesting one imo is bottom layer hilbert curve or octagram spiral and either concentric or spiral for the top layer, with the plate being 2 layers tall, so 0.4mm)

Great video! I would suggest making the insole outer edges smaller to fit inside the shoe better. Also, this would be much easier in Blender. It's difficult to learn, but once you learn it, you can make anything. I have never had any problems with dimensional accuracy with Blender. Organic shapes are so much easier, and you can use the sculpt tools with a lot better efficiency.

[@ShadowDrakken]

What you need to hold those loose bundles of filament is a "swift" like what's used for holding skeins of yarn for winding into balls :D

It’s the perfect time to dive into Blender! It’s ideal for all the scanning, cleaning, and design work you’ve been doing-especially for creating and refining the shoes. You’d have everything in one powerful tool!

[@properprinting]

I love Blender and I hope that I'll be able to use this one day! However, I do like the ability to combine both surface and parametric design.

[@berkakarcaloglu1915]

I had a few spontaneous ideas that may or may not work (hopefully the former). One is to go slightly away from traditional shoes and add a "flap" to the back of the shoe with shoe ties on either side so you could more easily slide your feet in and just tie them up. Sort of like moving the tongue of the shoe to the heel. The other is more... funky and experimental. What if you printed the shoe (or only the main body) with a big nozzle (like 0.8mm or bigger) and thick layers out of varishore tpu foamed up quite a bit as a single wall with fuzzy skin. The idea being that you might get some breathability as long as the fuzzy skin causes small holes to form (single wall is mainly for this) whilst the thick layers and big nozzle (hopefully) provides some needed strength. Hope at least some of these helps out in the next revision. Keep up the great work and happy new year @properprinting .

[@properprinting]

Thanks for sharing your ideas! I was thinking about ways of making it more breathable by printing intentionally under extruded. Using a bigger nozzle is also an interesting idea. Happy new year!

[@berkakarcaloglu1915]

@@properprinting not just a bigger nozzle but also enabling fuzzy skin with a single (but thick) perimeter with the idea being the fuzziness creates holes, and by using a bigger nozzle you (hopefully) could have bigger holes without compromising on the structure too much. That's the idea anyways, hope it actually works out.

Spray the bed before printing, or spray the print itself afterwards? If before, the IPA would just immediately evaporate. If after, how does IPA help since it would need to get between the print and the bed surface? Sorry, I'm not understanding your comment.

[@ROGUEAMMO]

​@@geuis before a print to make sure its clean and after the print is finished, just spray around the print on the build plate. the vapours make it easily lift away from the bed even when warm. it also works for petg and other filaments if you are in a rush to remove them.

15:55 I literally just had to learn about this exact process today for one of my projects!

[@dougcox835]

Your struggles with the software give me hope. Most of the KZbin channels that show the process make it look like everything is super simple. Like "I needed a bracket to mount this complex thig so I spent an hour and 3d printed one". Everything I try takes me half a day or more just for something simple and usually several tries to get it right. Also, I am not sure how to work with surfaces but I see the potential and I did it once with success but I followed some guy's tutorial so I really can't just pick it up and try my own thing comfortably. Watching you respool made me realize that the thing I'm working on would work for that. My project is a coil winder for electrical coils but I realized that it would work with trimmer line as well if I make it right. And trimmer line is very close to filament. My idea is to use stepper motors to drive it and move the feed so that it precisely lays the line in nice rows. I'm at the very beginning of this so I may fail but I don't have a deadline so I don't care. Everything I do teaches me more. I don't want to print "objects" I want to print useful things.
