XR Footpads

thingiverse

I've designed a set of footpads for the Onewheel XR that can be easily attached to stock footpads, all under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. Everyone seems to sell expensive replacement footpads, but I wanted something more budget-friendly. With extra time on my hands due to COVID-19, I created one of the most intricate 3D models I've ever made. Take a look at the 123d screenshot and you'll see multiple versions for both front and back, various thicknesses, and even a split low piece for the front. I've also included STL files for each printed piece. This design is specifically intended to be printed with flexible filaments like TPU. The final object needs to conform to the board's shape, and in the case of the front piece, flexibility is crucial to apply pressure onto the activation switches. Keep in mind that TPU isn't extremely grippy, especially when wet, so your mileage may vary. I've had some success with the front split footpad. If you weigh around 180lbs and place your foot at an angle that crosses through the thin part of the pad, it usually turns on within one try. However, if you ride with your foot perpendicular and apply pressure to the edge where the pad is thickest, the pressure will bypass the board's edge and won't turn on.
