Technical Tips for 3D Printing

Material : The TPU is the ideal choice: the softer, the better. Flexible, durable and pleasant to the touch, it fits perfectly between the toes.

🔧 Recommended print settings

Infill : ≤ 15 % This ensures good flexibility while maintaining the overall shape of the spacer.

Supports: No support required. The template is designed to print cleanly without additional structure.

Plateau grip :

  • Make sure the first coats adhere well.
  • You can use :
    • A thin layer of glue stick
    • Lacquer
    • Painter's tape
      This helps prevent the onset of warping.

🧵 Shrinkage

  • Minimal shrinkage.
    Since TPU is flexible, too much retraction increases stringing and the risk of jamming.

📏 Scaling

  • Adjust the scale factor to adapt the spreader to your morphology.

💡 Pro tip

  • TPU is elastic: avoid bending or stretching the part immediately after printing.
    Allow to cool completely to retain its optimum shape.
