Description
This is a replica of the original heelpads on Diadora shoes. This model's 3mf file is for TPU prints because TPU is the closest material to the original one. This model does not require any screw inserts, although inserts could be added for additional durability. Printing out of rigid materials like PLA, PETG, ASA or ABS is not recommended, unless you are comfortable using inserts or nutted bolts. I've made a model for using nuts and bolts, which uses a 5mm (ID) x 8mm (OD) and a M5 x0.8mm bolt. Aliexpress links below.
To install, you will have to put significant pressure while screwing the original screw in with a screwdriver. This is because clearances are very tight, to ensure longer term reliability.
