Description

I have created a glue on horseshoe designed to replace nail in shoes and allow horse feet to heal. I have two options so far: A solid TPU shoe, and one with a slot to insert a real metal shoe (Slim style)

My sisters have horses and are currently trying out how well these hold up, updates will be posted as I have more feedback. I would also greatly welcome any feedback from my horse people!

We are trying various types of glue to see which holds up best!

Options for sizes 00, 0, and 1. Increasing by 5% should be about right to further sizing as needed, Z height should remain about the same.

Currently 80% infill us being used.

Great 3D model. I scaled it down by 90% to fit my Shetland pony's hoof. It fits perfectly!

I have tried to print shoes foe my horse in the past and unfortunately struggled with material choice. The glue tabs had way too much flex in them when printed in 95A TPU from BambuLab. Have you had any such issues?

The designer has replied

@Sjmayfield88

I have not used TPU from Bambu lab specifically, but I am using 95. I did notice that the tabs I made seem to be a bit long, so I will shorten them when I get a chance, but I don’t feel like they are too flexible. I am currently struggling with what adhesive to use!

@user_2414937745

Replying to @Sjmayfield88 :

I use generic superglue with great success! I'm not even sure if the liquid vs gel makes a difference, they both work great. Just use a bit of sandpaper to make sure the surface is mostly clean and smooth and stick it right on. My problem is that the tabs stretch very long and they don't bounce back like rubber does. So far that's really what's holding me back.

@user_3409875730

TPU adhesive fitting printed recently? I wish the base plate had more profile at the bottom. could that be added somehow? and could the base plate and tabs be created and printed separately, I want to weld the tabs myself with hot air as is usual with Goodsmith and co. can anyone help me with that?

@Sjmayfield88

thank you! let me know if it works well for you! or any changes you would make!

@SilvijaDG

have you tried it? what kind of glue you use? How long did they last? I'll measure my hooves next week. I need 125x125 and 125x145 but I still have to check on monday. I bought a 3D printer today just because of glue on shoes , cant nail anymore

@SilvijaDG

tried… tabs break problem. dont know i have to make 2-3mm bigger shoe? do you have a model wothout tabs? to print it and glue / heat it/ separatly

@user_84663897

Hello, I am working on a TPU horse shoe myself for my wife I have printed yours and it's really great ! I can't understand how did you make the roller at the front of the shoe.

The designer has replied

@Sjmayfield88

thank you! I believe I used an intersect tool. I started with a large square, used a similar sized circle to cut it in half, and used that square with a circles shape cut out of it to cut a curve on the shoe. does that make sense? haha

@user_84663897

Replying to @Sjmayfield88 :

Kind of ahaha, I tried to make the same roller as yours using a plan to cut the front of the shoe at an angle then fillet the edge on fusion360 but it's not as perfect as yours ! I'll try your way with cirlce shape to cut the curve. Also on mine I added more groove to add grip in mud and it seems to work well. I can send a picture if necessary

@user_3762204942

hi and this is great well done just question what cain for TPU ?

The designer has replied

@Sjmayfield88

hello! I am not sure I understand the question 😅

@Sjmayfield88

Replying to @Sjmayfield88 :

I used 95A! a generic brand from Amazon

@user_3711928325

Unfortunately, the tabs inside did not print cleanly for me I'm still a beginner with tpu 95a I would be grateful for any tips

@Sjmayfield88

when printing with tpu it is most important that the filament is dried first, also printing slowly is important, you can’t rush TPU. if you have not dried it using a filament dryer or something similar, that is probably your issue

@user_519343871

what are the results of these glue on shoes ?

@LannyMade

Intuitively I would try liquidNails

@user_3871971218

Thank you for such good horseshoes😘 Could you post a model of the hoof that is pictured with the horseshoe?

The designer has replied

@Sjmayfield88

Great to see this item! Would be nice to be able to print one for my miniature pony with laminitis but than te middle part should be taken out. I will try

The designer has replied

@Sjmayfield88

I can help with that if you don’t mind sending my a photo with an example so that we are on the same page :)
