Here you can see the raft and support on our 3D Printed Men’s 9 test is very small. We were not so sure how clean the last would print but after a 1/4 size tested with great results, we went full size. We set up our Makerbot Z18 to Print with 0% inside fill, 2 shells, rafting ON and exterior support ON. Stand it up, we have found that printing you shoe last heel down pointing straight up is the best way to go. This will give you an accurate surface to bond the 3D printed lasts together in the middle. If you need to break up the last try printing with the heel down, then the other side with toe down. In fact you may have to break up the last to fit a full lize last into your 3D printers build envelope. Not many machines are large enough to 3D print a pair of shoe lasts at the same time anyhow. I don’t recommend that you print two lasts at one time. Now that you have your last file you should break it up so you have one side. Shoe lasts don’t resize or “ Grade” in a linear fashion. Really tricky if you need to make a size change. It will take some time to get the last modeled. Most CAD programs will allow you to make a surface Mesh from the. stl files, so if you need a size other that US 9 you maybe in for some CAD work. You can download our sneaker last file Here or you can search Thingverse or you can check out CRABCAD. STl or other CAD file to print a shoe last.
