Better Magnetic Shoelaces

thingiverse

If you're tired of struggling with your shoelaces, then these 'Better Magnetic Shoelaces' in five unique styles are just what you need. They're more comfortable than traditional laces and the magnets used in the 'Sport' versions are significantly stronger than those found in commercially available magnetic laces, ensuring they stay securely in place unless you intentionally release them. I've added a new 'Sport Low' version and combined my previously published magnetic laces into one innovative product. The remixes feature improved print quality with anti-curl lobes and minor design tweaks for enhanced functionality. The clips are designed to meet at a slight angle, eliminating the pressure points often associated with commercial clips. To showcase their features, I've created three short videos that demonstrate how to make these magnetic laces: 'Sport': https://youtu.be/aoDEwSn9eKM 'Sport Extra': https://youtu.be/kVdmidrNOus 'Casual'(weak hold): https://youtu.be/T6a47MAWlmo For the 'Sport', 'Sport Low'(NEW!) and 'Sport Extra' designs, you'll need 8 magnets each. In contrast, the 'casual' (weak hold) versions require only 4 magnets.
