Watch this guy scans his feet and creates a custom shoe sole that fits perfectly! Moose 3D Scanner

Introduction

Last year, I embarked on a journey to 3D print shoes, but unfortunately, they didn't fit quite right. To rectify this, I decided to explore the process of 3D scanning my feet. My goal was to create a shoe sole that would fit perfectly with my foot. Fortunately, 3D Maker Pro sent me their scanner, which allowed me to turn this dream into reality.

Using the scanner turned out to be surprisingly easy. I began by taking a scan of my foot, followed by a scan of my current shoe sole. These scans were combined to create a new piece designed to cater to my specific foot and shoe dimensions.

For the printing process, I opted for a flexible filament known as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). From my previous experience, I applied some tips to optimize the print quality this time around. Once the printing was complete, the final product looked impressive.

Eager to see how my creation fared, I slipped the custom sole into my shoe. It fit relatively well and had an aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, the real test awaited: standing and walking in them. To my surprise, the first impressions were more favorable than I had expected. The sole conformed to my foot comfortably, making it a pleasant experience overall.

Now, the big question on everyone’s mind is: what should I do next?
