Broken Flip Flop Prosthetic

thingiverse

It's a common problem when your favorite pair of flip flops snaps apart, making them entirely useless due to the broken stem. However, there is a simple solution - the flip flop prosthetic. You can quickly print out the necessary part and slide it into the original hole in the rubber sole. Next, you push the remaining stem of your old flip flops into the sleeve. To fit the prosthetic seamlessly into the rest of your footwear, you might need to trim down the tip a bit so that it fits snugly within the sleeve. Additionally, if the tip of the original stem interferes with the height of the straps, cutting off the end will be necessary to maintain an ideal strap length. Once secured with Gorilla Glue, let it sit for at least an hour before putting your restored flip flops back on.
