Crocs LiteRide fix for the heel strap
I stepped on the shoe incorrectly and crushed pins and the sockets in the heel strap.

Requires additional tools for assembly

Changelog
- 2025.09.14 - initial release

Dimensions
- bolt diameter 3.5mm x at least 10mm
- interna/external disk diameters 10mm

Printing
- provided gcode is just for estimation of the print material and duration only
- try to use PETG - more flexible and thus should withstand more, another option is TPU (not tried).
- 0.20mm Structural profile
- 100% infill, no brim, no supports
- print 2 copies per shoe, so for a pair of shoes you need 4 instances of each model - 3mf file has it already


Assembly
- drill a 3.5mm hole in the heel strap from the inside (use some wood plank to avoid damaging a table)
- put a printed bolt into the holes
- (optional) double check if the strap has no damaged plastic, you do not need to clean it as on the photos, just make sure it does not block the 3.5mm view through the hole
- add strap on the bolt
- put the disc on the bolt - it may require a bit of pressure or drilling the disc with a drill
- ensure the strap moves freely over the bolts, rotate it few times
- use hot air or soldering iron 250C or heat up the knife with a lighter and push it against the fragment of the bolt, so it starts to melt and secure the disc in the place - it should make a little bulge which prevents the disc from slipping away
