Description
đ Why This Model Instead of "Original" Feet?
Stock plastic traverse end caps eventually crack â especially in cold weather, when hitting thresholds, or on uneven surfaces. Buying new "original" caps costs money, takes time, and they're made from the same brittle plastic.
This model solves the problem for good:
| Feature | Typical plastic feet | This model |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Brittle PA or PP | PETG (body) + TPU (sole) |
| Cold weather performance (-10°C to -30°C) | Crack on impact | PETG stays elastic |
| Slipping on wet tiles / ice | Yes, often severe | Nearly zero thanks to TPU |
| Lifespan under heavy use | Months â 1 year | Years |
| Cost for 2 pieces | ~âŹ10â15 + shipping | ~âŹ1â2 filament cost |
| Fits only⌠| One specific ladder model | Any ladder (adjustable) |
đ§ Default Size (for most common ladders)
The model comes with a mounting width of 61.5 mm â matching the traverse profile width of many popular ladders (e.g., professional and semi-professional).
What to adjust for YOUR ladder:
- Profile width (A) â measure the outside dimension with calipers.
- Profile height (B) â for rectangular tubes.
- Metal wall thickness â typically 1â1.5 mm, affects the fit.
The model is parametric â just change dimensions.
âď¸ Optimal Print Settings
No supports needed â the design uses self-supporting overhangs.

| Nozzle | 0.4 mm (0.6 mm also works) |
| Infill | 40â50%, gyroid |
