The black part is reduced in longitudinal size so it can be glued fitting the length of the red parts.&nbsp;</p><p>I also included a "base", or non themed, version if you want to print a basic platform.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Doesn't Matter</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>15% - 30%</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>I recommend a thick wall and a low infill, because a higher infill makes it heavier. The red parts can be printed with flexible filaments so it brings shock absorption, I didn't try to print those parts with a rigid material so I don't know if it is comfortable.</p><p>The heel part (the fish one) has a very large wall surface, so it will consume a lot of material. I recommend a low infill with this in particular, print it in the normal direction to the drawing and print it in a low speed.</p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p>First, you have to glue the red plantar part (the upper one) to the shoe (with the sole removed) then glue the different parts. The order could be: first white and black parts and then the red ones. I recommend gluing the parts with contact cement or any shoe cement could work. I have not tried with vinyl or silicon. When you're gluing the red parts you can put some weight on it, like a chair, as if you were repairing a shoe, sticking a sole to it.</p>
