Shoes organizer (3D print + cardboard)

thingiverse

This shoe organizer was inspired by the ones posted by JujuGG and Master_Q. I liked their concepts but needed to create one that could be printed on my Ender 2 (150 x 150 mm) using minimal plastic and quickly, so many could be printed. Then, realizing I had a lot of Amazon boxes lying around, I decided to use a mixture of plastic and cardboard. This is a filament-efficient print. It uses around 6 meters of filament per part (12 meters in total) and 2 pieces of cardboard: one at the top where you put the second shoe, and one at the bottom to keep everything in place. The initial design used glue to hold the cardboard parts together, using only 3.5 meters of filament and printing in roughly half an hour. My girlfriend pointed out that it would be more eco-friendly if no adhesive was needed, so I added slots where you can slide the cardboard parts to save the planet. Next steps: -Optimize the slots to hold the cardboard parts securely. -Reduce material use and print time. Regarding the filament, SUNLU PLA + black filament with excellent results was used: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/5ZffKBm
