In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to explain how to order fit customizations for shoes and shoe lasts on 3DShoemaker.com. I’ll also cover how such customizations are made in the 3DShoemaker design software for the benefit of those using it. Prior to the industrial revolution, bespoke footwear was fairly common. […]

I recently came across this 3D printable foot measuring device similar to a Brannock device. Seeing as I’m in to all things 3D printing and footwear related, I figured I had to print one myself and try it out. In this 3DShoemaker post, I’ll give my thoughts on it. Having […]
In this 3DShoemaker update, I’m going to get into forefoot and hindfoot twists and posting of foot orthoses and footbeds. This will be applicable both to the individual 3D models ordered on 3DShoemaker.com and also to design work in the 3DShoemaker software. I’ll also get into how to make room […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to introduce the Cyber Clog, my second fully customizable 3D printable shoe design. I’ll also get into variable infill densities. In an earlier post, I introduced the first 3D printed shoes I’ve developed that I actually really like wearing. The key was the degree […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’ll show you how 3D printable models can be used to manage leg length discrepancies. I’ll explain how to order models of shoes, shoe lasts, orthotic insoles, soles, and other components for this purpose. And if you stick around till the end, I’ll get into the […]
After a few attempts at 3D printed shoes, I’ve finally developed something I actually really like wearing. They are clogs, and I’m not talking about the kind that jam up your nozzle. I like them so much that I’ve made 3D models of them available for anyone to order on […]
In this 3DShoemaker tutorial, I’m going to show you how to 3D print foamy orthotic insoles using models from 3DShoemaker.com and filament that should work on pretty much any modern desktop 3D printer. The results are quite impressive, and the cost is similar to buying off-the-shelf insoles and far cheaper […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to show you a new way to 3D print flexible orthotics on FDM 3D printers. The orientation used allows for even large sizes to be printed on average size 3D printers and even multiple pairs may be possible. The approach relies on more intelligently […]
Hardware for assembling more robust 3D printed shoe lasts is now available for purchase here on 3DShoemaker.com. In this post, I’m going to tell you a bit more about it. In my previous tutorial on 3D printing a shoe last with an alpha joint, I tried to make it as […]
Patterns are an important aspect of shoemaking. They also require considerable skill and time to create using traditional methods. But, as you are probably aware, with modern tech, digital designs can be sent to XY plotters to be cut out automatically. In previous tutorials, I’ve explained how the 3DShoemaker plugin […]
