ALDI Ladder - new shoes

thingiverse

My Aldi ladder has consistently performed well and continues to do so. However, the red rubber shoes have deteriorated over time due to prolonged exposure to UV-rays from the sun. I designed a replacement shoe that fits perfectly, offering stability comparable to the original design and boasting impressive durability thanks to TPU64D filament. Please note that this is my personal opinion, and you must exercise caution when using these replacement parts. You are entirely responsible for their use, and I disclaim any guarantee of their quality. If your print fails to achieve stability, refrain from utilizing it on your ladder. As a precautionary measure, consider testing its strength with a hammer; TPU filament is unlikely to suffer damage if printed correctly. Nevertheless, avoid using hard filaments like PLA, ABS, PETG, or Nylon, as they can cause the ladder to slip. In such cases, duct tape might be a more suitable option for repairing your ladder or acquiring a new one. Only TPU will provide the necessary flexibility and stability for your ladder's new shoes, ensuring a secure footing.
