VarioShore TPU always seemed like the perfect filament for printing shoes. Adjusting the temperature per layer could allow you to make some parts stiffer than others.
A grippy filament for the first 5 layers and switch to the chinchilla would be an interesting experiment. What I am really curious about though is the difference between the different designs. It's not clear what makes each model different compared to the others.
The really soft filaments underextrude at higher speeds because it's hard for the extruder to unspool. While harder filaments are pulled out linearly with the extruder gears, the softer ones stretch without turning the spool. If you unspool a portion of the softer filaments first, you can actually print them at almost normal PLA speeds
@@thenextlayer So perhaps a motorised unspooler would help. You would need any random geared DC motor that you can couple to a spool hub, and a Vishay TCST gate might work to detect the hanginess. Once it's hung down enough to clear or block the gate, the motor would be run.
It’s like you knew! I’ve been researching 3d printed shoes this week to print a good pair as an “attention grabber” for my booth! 😂 Another great video!! 🔥
I hope you do something with super hard TPUs in the future. Super hard TPU is apparently super abrasion resistant and extremely strong so it would be insanely useful for certain applications but way too expensive for a hobbyist like me to drop so much money on a roll lol
@@KcCake Rumour has it you can get 70D TPU. That's nominally similar hardness to most hard-plastics, just a little softer, but it still behaves very different, since Shore is a local surface property but macroscopically they're still on the flexible side. Pellets that are even harder exist as well but don't think anybody is building filaments that are harder, unless...
I have made some clothing items by 3D printing flat sewing patterns and stitching them together with a 3D pen, it works very well! My next project is doing the same with a shoe pattern. Durable sole and sides with open infill pattern. It will have (TPU) laces and with filament swaps you can create decals.
I think having a show of 75a with a small layer of chinchilla on the inside where your foot touches would be a good combo of traction, touch, and bend ability
I have been watching your channel for a while now, and I really enjoy the typical TNL vids, with all the trial and error… but this video is top of the heap for me with TNL vibes lol… the interstitials are really fun and funny, and as a video topic I think this is great. I’ve not had a ton of luck printing with flexibles on my P1S, but I haven’t tried much. I also now have a quality filament drier (Sunlu S4), so I need to try again, but I am also casually shopping for more printers. It seems like open frame printers and/or bedslingers are the way to go. I am considering an A1 Mini since they’re so versatile and simple, but I am also looking for a large format printer. The comgrow T300 and 500 are really appealing since they’re so beefy lol
I wonder if you could use the 70a for the sole and the chinchilla for the rest of the shoe would have worked better for you. Just pause the print and swap filaments or use a mmu/ams to make it easier.
For anyone curious a bowden ender 3 can print NinjaFlex 85A TPU @30mm/s. and that’s a good soft and flexible material, so just about any printer large enough can print these.
Hah! That wrapping around the gear stuff reminds me of my experience with the Recreus Filaflex 60A PRO on my P1S. Had to drill a hole into the toolhead cover to get the tension screw to back out *enough*.
Keep it up brotha always giving us ideas and projects. I am a father and business owner around the same age as you in the US. I am constantly trying to find or make new designs to try and keep the shop fresh having alot of luck with small projects that are designed for you to do with your family or children. Wouldn't be a bad idea of doing a family oriented project video get at me if you wanna talk shop. I appreciate all your work and look forward to seeing more of your projects keep gettin it 🤙
perhaps what you have made isn't actually a shoe but more of an evolution of the sock? IF you could make a second section that attached to shoe print that worked like a high top sock then you may have created a washable wearable long lasting sock? The second idea would be that you simply build an All weather 3D printed over shoe that fits over your very breathable 3D printed socks/ that double as Summer shoes?
I mean, for the slippery Chinchilla, you could always glue or 3d print first a layer of TPU/ninjaflex. I'm almost ready to bite the bulet and try it myself haha, not sure if my Bambulab A1 could choke those filaments though... But if it does, I'll be the most specatcular looking mofo in Hadera!
Hopefully you'll get that SV08 up and running for multi-material soon, this really seems like a project where printing the soles and uppers in two different materials (assuming any of these can bond together) would really improve the final outcome. I'm also kind of wondering if printing the whole thing in the best material for the uppers and then pouring silicone to surround and fill in for solid soles would improve the outcome on some of these. Having mesh soles kind of worries me, even as someone who is barefoot almost any time I can get away with it. You never know what you might step on out in the world.
It would be interesting to experiment with using something like 3dgloop to glue a thicker sole (possibly also 3d printed) onto these for those of us who prefer that style of shoe Edit: You could even print just the sole out of something like that 70A and glue it to a slightly less flexible but easier to print upper half, maybe that would offer better integrity while maintaining most of that desired flexibility
One of the things i dont see with 3d printed shoes which i think they could really benefit from and would reduce the poofy shoe issue i printing the bottom sole mid sole insole and outer shell of different materials say you were making a running shoe you could make the bottom sole out of the most abrasion resistant stuff you can find to have it last longer and the stuff that needs to be softer out of something softer Second thing you can do that i dont see being done anywhere is you could look at the shoes you already own and look where are the areas that you scrape the most and erode a lot and reinforce those either by again making them out of a material more resistant to abbrasion or just adding more material in those areas
Well done sir! You did your research. Normally when people talk about 3D printed shoes they only talk about Zellerfeld and never mention that Adidas has been doing it for years now. My wife got me a pair and they are surprisingly comfortable, they engineered the lattice structure to control the pressure distribution on the foot. The nerdiest shoes I own. I agree with you that I'm not excited about the croc style and various "futuristic" looking printable shoes. I'm glad to see that other designers are exploring the space. I'd love a shoe kind of shoe that I can print, with a normal looking lattice structure sole and an upper the looks very much like the shoes you tested here. I think your idea of a shoe made of more than one material is a really good path forward. I do hope you circle back around to this at some point. I enjoyed the video, be nicer to future you, I'm sure he's tired of fixing all your mistakes!
I just received some Polymaker TPU90. I have been wanting to print a pair of shoes, however, I agree the current designs are so bulky. I have so gotta try this on my K1 Max. Wish me luck! Awesome video and thanks for introducing Alessio design.
Awesome video! As someone who doesn't want to spend a fortune on "known brand" shoes, where over half the cost is for the manufacturer's label, I really love the idea. Let's hope we can make them easier to print with more research and tuning
What an awesome video! I have horrible neuropathy in my feet and ankles, so when I do wear shoes, they have to be soft and easy to slip off whenever I stop somewhere. A pair of barefoot shoes like these would be so nice to have. I'm guessing I just need a better printer than my geriatric CR-6 SE to print a pair! 🤪
@@thenextlayer well, I just got an inexpensive dual gear extruder to replace the single gear OEM extruder, and printing slowly is it's strong suit, so maybe! I just need to save for some TPU. Being on disability makes getting stuff time consuming.
ok so I am very new to this 3d printing thing but I had a thought....if you can add magnets for example, mid print....could you scan and print an accurate "buck" of your own foot, say in PLA or whatever....then after the sole is printed, pause the print, insert the buck and continue to print the shoes over and around it? modifying the tool path as needed to avoid collisions with the buck. It would essentially be a removable, non attached support, in the shape of a custom last, providing support for sagging and ensuring that the shoes would be printed in the exact shape of your foot.....why wouldn't that work? love the channel, forgive my ignorance!
I was thinking none of these filaments applied to me with my Flashforge 5M til 18:37 nice I had no idea the 5M could do it. Still the shoes are out I have large feet, and the only other printer I have is the Geeetech Mizar S which fails way too much to try this.
You've got it wrong... Embarrassing your wife and kids is more reason TO wear these shoes, not a deterrent. Once they see your confidence, they'll want a pair too!
Okay, I am a 3D printing n00b, but wouldn't it be possible to have a "plastic foot" or one of those cardboard stiffeners they use to make shoes look good in the store as a security bridge for the floopiest of the filaments to not allow them to sag as much during the print? Not to the point where they are actually all the way to the level where you are printing, but almost...? I have absolutely NO idea if this would even help out, but in my head it should :P
well youtube screwed me again! i missed this video on release 4 weeks ago as it seems - that's a bummer. As a barefoot shoe afficionado (i'm living in the Harz mountains, it's a hiking hot spot in northern europe), a fan of your channel AND an owner of a Sovol SV07+ that video should have triggered several algorrythms for me- but somehow didnt.. bummer. Also: if you want to use a MMU in the future to combine materials while printing shoes, wouldn't the use of a support material a good idea that doesnt really stick to the floppy parts? that way the shoes would stay in their form while printing, and you could just pull out the support block. bonus point if you can use your recycling apparatus to reuse the support stuff :)
I’d like to see if these can be done in multi material. Use a soft grippy option for the outsole and a soft to the touch option for the uppers. Also, I have seen recent videos about varying the infill to make stiff or soft areas. It would be great to see this in these shoes. Soft in the heal and stiff in the arches.
What'll really be next level will be to scan your feet and then have the shoe's shape conformed to your feet. BTW, I also do barefoot shoes and my wife is also embarrassed. BAREFOOTERS UNITE!
Very neat! I stopped caring about what my shoes looked like when I switched to barefoot shoes LOL. People already think they look goofy with the wide toe box, very clown shoe-esque. Very curious how these hold up to daily and more intense use like running and exercise as well. For me my regular vivo shoes have lasted a little more than a year, though they probably should have been replaced months ago. I'm about to get a new pair and send my worn out ones back to recycle but maybe by the next pair I'll be able to print them!
Bingo! I love that Vivo lets you recycle them! Honestly, the Balena ones are already more comfortable than barefoot shoes + socks (which are already insanely comfortable), but the chinchilla are just on another level. Like walking around on silk!
Really excited to see this, I like my Crocs but have not 3d printed any since they all look so big, and with a size 13 mens (us) shoe, I hate puffy shoes.
To comment here I need to be respectful and constructive yet you described Zellerfeld and other 3D printed shoes chunky and clowny. I think that before making these kind of comments you should be a footwear specialist, not just a barefoot enjoyer, or at least be coherent with the values you want to be respected in your comments. It’s also a bit arrogant to pretend to do better first try in a field that others explore and innovate every day. I think you should keep it more humble.
You can be respectful and still be entitled to your opinion. In my opinion, most of the other 3D shoes are too chunky, and the “novelty” ones I showed on screen when I said clown shoes were clearly designed for getting attention and views on RUclips. I don’t think that’s disrespectful and I literally put a “no offense” title on that part.
Fantastic (and funny) video. As always - informative, entertaining & useful videos. In the next few days, I will print lots of shoes like these for my family. Thank you, Jonathan.
Kudos for all the technical knowledge in this project, which is impressive, but TBH, from a design POV, yes, the don't look bulky, but they look like really worn out, trashy I-would-never-wear-these-shoes... Sorry, "no offense" as well! Let's hope, this is just a step on a long path towards great looking 3D-printed shoes!
@@thenextlayer maybe even print a foot that you could slice in the sections and place in the print as it goes along. You know different layers. I don't know. Just throwing things out there lol
Could you try printing the bottom of the shoe or the sole in one type of TPU and the top in another. Maybe the gcode can be adjusted for a first layer of BioCirflex3D for better traction and then the rest of the layers in Chinchilla...just a thought.
love the video really like the idea of not chonky boy shoe's but i have a question about the dryer boxes. i would really like to love the sovol dryer but for just 30 euro more i can get the sunlu s4 taht can dry 4 spools so whats does the sovol do that the sunlu cant? or am i missing something ?
Random question since i just found your channle. How is keeping Petg and tpu in open air in israel? Viable or would i need to get a spule dehumidifier?

Yeah I kicked myself after Stefan’s video came out, like, why didn’t I think to include that?! But this video was already sooo long

in general shoes use different materials and technologies for the sole and upper. i suggest experimenting that way.

Ninjatek Armadillo is 75D, which puts it in the same range as nylon, but with better abrasion and impact resistance, as well as better layer adhesion.
Homeless people treat socks like gold. They're a high wear item, so no matter who you are you go through them pretty quickly if you walk.

@@thenextlayer Yes you do. You're going to accumulate them anyway, this is the life.
Missed the obvious choice of Colorfab Varioshore filament.
Fantastic (and funny) video. As always - informative, entertaining & useful videos. In the next few days, I will print lots of shoes like these for my family. Thank you, Jonathan.
Fantastic!
Perhaps you could use a spray silicone on the soles of the chinchilla shoes to add friction.
Interesting idea…. I could try that
The shoe from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Kudos for all the technical knowledge in this project, which is impressive, but TBH, from a design POV, yes, the don't look bulky, but they look like really worn out, trashy I-would-never-wear-these-shoes... Sorry, "no offense" as well! Let's hope, this is just a step on a long path towards great looking 3D-printed shoes!
Fair! To each his own. That’s the beauty of 3D printing… we can each print the style we like instead of hoping someone makes one
Frick the people that say 💩 about your funky shoes, they're just jealous that they don't have some
My 50yo arches are screaming watching this video lol
Your ancestors were fine for half a million years without arch support!
One pair of printed custom jordans coming right up
Do you think on your multi-head machine you could print a support foot inside?
Maybe an idex would be faster
This is an interesting idea… I don’t think TPU bonds to PETG… so that could definitely work!
@@thenextlayer It might be tough to start the PETG though. You might need supports coming up through the soles.
@@thenextlayer maybe even print a foot that you could slice in the sections and place in the print as it goes along. You know different layers. I don't know. Just throwing things out there lol
You think you can scan your foot? Use the scan to make the support.
Could you try printing the bottom of the shoe or the sole in one type of TPU and the top in another. Maybe the gcode can be adjusted for a first layer of BioCirflex3D for better traction and then the rest of the layers in Chinchilla...just a thought.
Yep. I might do that when I finish the tool changer project
NathanBuildsRobots: "What happens if you step in poo?"
Is Nathan outsourcing his commenting now? 😂
Print a new one and toss this one in the compost if it’s the Balena filament.
@@thenextlayer I'm sorry was the first thing that came to my mind. His take on the shoes he got from Creality 😂
Hope yall are safe!
freezing? what? you wore these in the WINTER?? @around the 13 minute mark refering to Im ASSUMING that you do NOT LIVE IN THE USA. are you Canadian?
FLOOOOOOPY
Dude, just print on a Prusa XL and use a dissolvable support material
Oh true true. But I don’t have an XL
@@thenextlayer *presents you with an XL*
If I could I would!
30 is almost freezing, what do you mean "thirty plus heat"
I don’t use freedom units bruh
Im sorry, you'll learn real measurements one day bro. I believe in you.
Do you already have the review of the Sovol SH02 filament dryer?
Nope I don’t really review this type of stuff, or even many printers these days
The real shoes were the shoes you made along the way?
love the video really like the idea of not chonky boy shoe's but i have a question about the dryer boxes.
i would really like to love the sovol dryer but for just 30 euro more i can get the sunlu s4 taht can dry 4 spools so whats does the sovol do that the sunlu cant? or am i missing something ?
I don’t think it’s fair for me to comment about the Sunlu, considering Sovol sponsored this video. But I’ll mention this to Sovol…
Some of us would need a MAX sized printer to print our shoes, I have size 15 EEE feet...
Damn!
Oh my god, Shoes.
Haaa I was right on the teaser photo
You should make some with a "neck" ankle stop shoes are annoying AF.
with a multi filament system could you pring a sole regions in a gripper material?
With a multi tool head printer yes.
Is this shoe impossible on a Bambulabs A1?
😆 nice video, man!
Thank you!
Definitely not good for walking on dirt, gravel, or in the rain lol. As someone with bone spurs, the thought of walking barefoot makes my feet hurt.
Looking good. Dare you to use them on sidewalks in the Israeli summer :)
I did! They're awesome!
Would this be printable on the Bambu Lab A1? I have a 0.6 nozzle, wear barefoot shoes and I'm in need of a pair of new summer shoes!
Only one way to find out
@@thenextlayer 😬 I do have some cheap TPU, but it's 95A. Might be a bit stiff.
B"H, thank you for your channel.
Now I know that we at least have 2 things in common 😉
Let’s go for 3… hot sauces?
@@thenextlayer A man after my own heart! We definitely need to hang out!
Save yourself time and just dip your feet in some Plasti Dip. Done.
That’s brilliant. Then I never have to take them off even there.
3d sandles would have been easier.
Random question since i just found your channle. How is keeping Petg and tpu in open air in israel? Viable or would i need to get a spule dehumidifier?
Impossible. It soaks up water and becomes unprintable within 2-3 hours
Hey man, still looking for your video where you show a purge line bin, which video was it ? was it for the p1p ? cheers
It’s in ALL the filament recycling videos. ruclips.net/video/Hm6KpEajD4o/видео.htmlsi=oTXgi28BYVVxgHA6 ruclips.net/video/_P0fGI4CPoA/видео.htmlsi=5maPE-04ASSBfznS
@@thenextlayer thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@thenextlayer can't find it
good video man, but i am still waiting for I Upgraded the Sovol SV08 Till It Broke part 2 :D
lol yeah I leave a trail of failed projects behind me.
@@thenextlayer but i still believe in you, that you will deliver :)
Use in your shoes insoles and your not barefoot. The idea sounds good.
