UPDATE 01-07-25

I've dialed in settings with Bambu Lab's TPU HF filament and have my first shoe printed really nicely !

I've been experimenting with different settings, orientations, and altered the model slightly as well. 

- Changed orientation in print profile to print on the toe, so the bridge prints nicer
- I removed the heal from open version, as it printed well without it

- The print only worked for me if I print it quite slowly - these settings are in the new profile

- Added v3 shoe models, which are superior

- I printed this shoe at 94.7%, which is a woman US 8.5 for my partner

- Will update sizing chart once I have a full set printed
NOTE: This is printed with TPU supports, which come off relatively easily. For best results, I reckon it's worth printing this with PLA or dissolvable supports if possible with option “support critical regions only” turned off, and “Threshold angle” set to 30. I had a few bad experiences printing with lots of supports as they are hard to remove when printed in TPU and there are a lot of them, so I changed these 2 settings. Paradoxically, I think the finish will be even nicer in some areas that sag if printed with dissolvable supports, but this hasn't been tested

UPDATE 15-06-25: 
There has been quite a bit of attention on these shoes, which was originally a design exercise for me! I have finally been able to put the time into working on them again with a lot of new skills since I made them. I've listed below the updates I have made. I'm excited to see people's prints of these ! I've test printed the left open version in PLA, but am doing maintenance on my printer atm. When it is working again, I will print them all in TPU. The size of the crocs are supposedly UK40, but They fit me snuggly and I am a US9.5 normally. I'm not sure how accurate the size guide is, I will be updating this when I get them all printed
- Altered the crocs model so there is more space around the toes to fit the feet
- Added a second variation of the shoe that keeps the pattern, but have enclosed walls
- Finally added a print profile !
- I've also added 2 orientations, one up on it's heal, and a version that is completely flat without the cut in the heal

18 May 24 EDIT: I've added an estimated size guide based off MakerVerse Designs's crocs. I also added a heal to the model and angled it up like their crocs so it's easier to print. You may need some basic support pillars still, like they describe in their listing. 

A voronoi remix of Jjhu's crocs - size 40, US 7.5 men, US 9 women

Hi there !

I challenged myself to learn how to make Voronoi models. To make the model I remeshed the model first with “Instant Meshes” to go low poly, then used a couple modifiers in blender to turn it Voronoi. I have this model on Printables, but thought I'd share it with the community here as well.
 

I haven't printed these myself, but someone who had success and did print it commented that they “printed with 2 wall loops, 10% gyroid infill, manual tree supports, and at a 45° angle to prevent too many overhangs.” They use TPU to print them 

Tbh this was more of a design and rendering exercise for me but I wanted to share it anyway !

The original model was sized as 40, US 7.5 men, US 9 women. Surely you could scale these to make them different sizes, but I would do some measurements in the model before printing to make sure they're the desired size.

Happy Printing !
