Can you update us once you’ve worn them in a little? Would be great to read your thought on how comfortable and functional they are. And a picture of them laced up if you can🙏🏽
The project file description covers durability though, says they aren’t made to go crazy with, so I wouldn’t expect much. I can say that the supports were a beast to remove though, and they seem to be pretty functional if you tread lightly.
Edit: to be clear, the H2D is needed to print some of the larger sizes if you print both at the same time, otherwise you’d need to rotate 45 degrees and print individually—but with the gradient filament that I used, they wouldn’t match. They provide the appropriate scaling for each shoe size in the project description.
Edit edit: the H2D is the only way to print these. 😉😘
Just looked online and one of the Bambu H2D printers isn’t coming until June of 25? Not sure what one that is compared to what you have but what do you think is the printer worth $2,000?? I want to get a nice one when i buy my first…
If it's your first printer, nothing too fancy is my advice, after getting used to it and maintaining etc. Get a fancy one like the H2D (and if you do, DO NOT get the laser version).
Fumes, fire and gunk. The extractor helps with fumes, but not really enough. The risk of fire is more likely user error, but still dangerous. The gunk is the big problem - resin from wood is a nightmare for getting into moving parts as a hot vapour. For the price difference, it is better to buy a dedicated engraver.

No it's not, this is clearly an H2D, the P1S is trash and the X1C as well. Tell your wife that if she cares about you, that she will allow you to buy a decent printer, instead of these trash printers.
In fact, show her this post so she can see that even a 3rd party agrees with you.
Actually you can, my cousin works with a company experimenting with 3d printing soles with resin and fdm printers. You definitely can but not like this lol
"3D printing of orthotics is definitely becoming more common. There are companies out there doing this with commercial 3D printers (...) But orthotics can actually be 3D printed just fine on regular desktop 3D printers with common filaments."
I have a pair printed from Zellerfeld, and they're pretty comfortable. They've been proven to be pretty durable as well. They custom-design the infill/internal geometry to achieve different mechanical properties required for each shoe. It's possible, but not as simple as slicing a normal part.
the only shoes from them I came in contact with ripped within 3 days, and the price tag is quite steep for something that looks like some filament, in one color too.
idk if im ever going to want to buy $200+ 3d printed shoes
I looked at em and if you want Yeezy ripoffs in unicolor for 200+ bucks I guess go for it. They are also all incredibly thick. Also the fundamental issue of using plastic on wet surfaces is going to remain.
There is this magical material that bests all these issues. It's called EVA foam.
I don't think I would call them all yeezy ripoffs. The ones I bought? Yea for sure. Most of the designs are little too artsy for me, but that's the nature of letting people design with additive manufacturing in mind.
The pair I own are about as thick as a regular pair of shoes, and I've worn them in the rain without any traction issues. I don't think I could beat the hell out of them like a normal pair of shoes, but I have zero concerns wearing them whenever I go out.
I think the concept is there, and I like the ease of access for independent designers. They are also pitching the idea of sustainability by offering a recycling program. Zellerfeld recently had a collaboration with Nike for the AirMax 1000, so they're getting noticed by mainstream brands. Will it replace traditional shoe manufacturing? Probably not. Not everyone can afford $200 shoes, but it's nice to see an alternative. Maybe we can see prices go down as time goes on.
There is not a single fdm printer material that is good for shoes. That TPU even though it's "flexible" is way to hard for a midsole and as a sole as soon as it gets wet you are sliding all over the place. Then for an upper plastic is well known for being able to breathe /s, hence why this "shoe" looks like swiss cheese which is well known to provide tons of support for those pesky ligaments in your ankle and foot.
Minimalist sandals actually, I wear them everywhere. first version was fully 3d printed and used Paracord for the straps, but for this one I printed the upper and glued it to a sheet of rubber sole. I do agree though a 100% printed shoe doesn't make much sense... Perhaps slippers, but I think they would be much more expensive than just buying them, lol, Shoes arent 100% made of a single material and for a good reason, but I can imagine it being used as parts for a manufactured shoe. In my case it was much cheaper than buying a pair of Xeros
I think with the right material, probably not available yet, you could fully print a shoe.
Something like a soft foaming TPU, perhaps with other temperature activated additives. By varying the temperature, walls, and infill, you could get quite a variety of firmness and friction.
I'm still not really sure what the point is aside from curiosity.
If it's to provide shoes for people in remote areas, you'd probably be better off sending them foam, fabric, and textured rubber sheets and a good glue.
Nah, sorry, I pretty much just put my foot on a 2d scanner and winged the design from the reference image. I guess I could elaborate a bit on the design choices later on if you want to
Additionally, I dried the filament for a solid 12 hours prior to starting the job and washed the plate with the tears I cried and collected from previous failures.
This is honestly why i don't print shit that takes more than a few hours... I usually can figure out how to make it from raw materials lol. Looks cool though. My ocd can't let a printer run for 4 days I'd be tripping out about fire hazards non stop or spaghetti.
I mean, they wouldn’t be my daily drivers, but they seem strong enough to last a season or two under normal conditions. I wouldn’t go hiking with them, but you could definitely sport these around town just fine.
I used a .4 for these. I’m sure .6 would be just fine, but may be funky with the mesh areas. Discovery requires experimentation. I’m going to do one more pair in this color, because I bought 2 rolls, then I’m going to try a more neutral tone. Maybe tan or grey. Haven’t decided.
I spend $128.38 USD on two rolls of filament, and $42.79 on this dryer to keep things dry. Comgrow 3D Printer Filament Dryer... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098D366R3
$65 on a kg of filament is insane. $15 on 95A pretty much all day long from plenty of amazon vendors who make high quality filament. I won't shill any but you could have saved a ton of money on filament and gotten way better results.
Its depends on your printer, its cooling capability, and printing temperature
4 seconds is pretty low, in my opinion, I dont remember mine exactly, but it's somewhere from 15-30 seconds. I print really hot because it does seem to make parts stronger (PLA at 240-260)
I wonder what the difference in microplastic levels in the body is for those of us who use these and handle the prints. compared to those who don't. I'm considering taking a step back, but maybe it's too late.
From personal experience, you want something softer than 90A, not because of the shoe itself, but because the sole will loose traction as soon as it comes into contact with a wet surface
This is the kind of shit i want to do whenever i buy a 3d Printer that is…. Been wanting one for years and i keep seeing newer awesome models that do stuff like this and much more and still haven’t pulled the trigger! Damn makes me want to impulse buy 3d printer right now even more…

If the bottom of them doesn't have enough grip there's shoe outer sole replacement treads and just get a good adhesive slap it on and it saves the worry of slippery or wet surfaces with TPU shoes or sandals
I printed these exact shoes in my P1S with 95A and it looked so much better than this while getting the job done in 1.5 days, why is yours suffering so much?
My wife refused to wear them so they became dog shoes my daughter is an extra wide in shoes and sadly wouldn't fit in any styles I found without a ton of work. I think they are amazing for what they are and stupid easy to print. Only problem is finding the right ratio to make it fit.
Dry your filament a lot and make sure it's actually dry. Those units tend to hold moisture if you're not careful. I also run a dehumidifier where I print and stay below 25 percent.
I would have to assume the stringing is from the filament calibration settings then. I spent time calibrating mine prior to printing sneakers for the first time. I dried way longer than 12 hours and also printed from the drybox. Did you have healthy dehumidifier agent? How is your house humidity? I run a large dehumidifier in the room I print in so the room is sub 25%
Oh yeah, go on a pc, open bambu lab, go to the calibration setting and click the "manual calibration" button. Google ranges for the filament you are using so you don't waste time searching ranges that will be bad, slowly tune it. Youtube filament calibration bambu and you'll be done it in under an hour. After that you can use your phone to do the printing by using the calibrated option and disable flow calibration since itll already be fine tuned. This will remove all the stringing and make the mesh look a lot better.
I run my tpu prints a bit faster than that, but I haven't done anything that larger either. I really like geetechs 95a TPU, and pinrui has some good stuff too that doesn't string like that. On a kobra 3 and an artillery x3 plus.
Wouldn't print one at a time be better? Less stringing and less time used traveling, and if it fails you don't lose both... Though I doubt that's a problem with a P1S. 🤣
