Teva Sandal Replacement Plastic piece

thingiverse

I bought a pair of Teva Sandals recently and discovered that all four plastic components were broken on each shoe. Replacing these parts requires some sewing skills, but it's an enjoyable project nonetheless. I decided to overbuild this replacement piece slightly, anticipating that the new part might break easily. As a result, it's now thicker than the original component. During printing, the holes for threading turned out to be too small for a needle to pass through comfortably. To resolve this issue, I used a small drill bit to enlarge them. Additionally, the contour of the printed piece was slightly off, so I utilized a blow dryer to heat it up and then pressed it against the original component to achieve the perfect fit.
