Denticle (footwear)

「250828 Updated a blender source file.」

This is a pair of shoes 3D printed using flexible filament, inspired by shark scales.

The design was created in Gravity Sketch and Blender.

At 100% scale, the shoe last used is 275 mm, which roughly corresponds to EU size 43, suitable for a foot length of around 267 mm. (Data reference: https://www.nike.com/sg/size-fit/mens-footwear)

The midsole features a detachable design, allowing you to print the shoe shell and midsole with different materials. For example, you can use Bambu Lab TPU 85A to print the shoe shell for a softer upper, and use PEBA 85A for the midsole to achieve better support.

A 3 mm thick heel pad is added at the back. This component is important for ensuring a snug fit — make sure its infill density matches that of the shoe upper.

This is a casual shoe and is not recommended for professional sports. Do not wear it on slippery or rugged terrain.

It is machine washable and can be tumble-dried at temperatures below 80 °C.
