Orthotic Insoles

1. I've been working on this one for my lady friend who suffers very badly with plantar fasciitis, haven't printed or tested yet .. this is a work in progress. 2. I have done a prototype print but broke a bit off removing the supports, will try another after more mods 3. More work done on the model, I tried one at 6mm thick and whilst it is very strong, I don't much like it .. it took 5 hours to print and as it was printed flat, it needed lots of supports and they were very difficult to get off and lots of sanding to finish. 4. I printed one at 2mm thick and am now pleased with it, just a matter if its strong enough .. this one I printed upright and it only took just over an hour to print and only needed minimal support .. I heated with a hot air gun and just gave it a little more arch and a light sanding of the edges was all that was needed. I am now printing the right foot and the test will then be in the wearing of them 5. I have now printed a pair and after a light sanding around the edges, they are ready for testing .. the pair took about 2.5 hours to print Printed on: Anycubic i3 Mega CURA settings .. Layer hight: 0.2 Wall Thickness: 0.8 Infill Density: 100% Adhesion: Brim Material: PLA I used a rather expensive one to model this from (see last 2 pics) as my lady friend lost the right one and couldn't just buy the one
