Koi themed 10cm platform heel sole

Originally published on Thingiverse here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2830858

This platform must replace the original sole of a shoe. it's made for a 37 to 39 (EU) or 7 and third to 8 two thirds (US) shoe sizes. The black part is reduced in longitudinal size so it can be glued fitting the length of the red parts. 

I also included a "base", or non themed, version if you want to print a basic platform.

Infill: 

15% - 30%

Notes:

I recommend a thick wall and a low infill, because a higher infill makes it heavier. The red parts can be printed with flexible filaments so it brings shock absorption, I didn't try to print those parts with a rigid material so I don't know if it is comfortable.

The heel part (the fish one) has a very large wall surface, so it will consume a lot of material. I recommend a low infill with this in particular, print it in the normal direction to the drawing and print it in a low speed.

Post-Printing

First, you have to glue the red plantar part (the upper one) to the shoe (with the sole removed) then glue the different parts. The order could be: first white and black parts and then the red ones. I recommend gluing the parts with contact cement or any shoe cement could work. I have not tried with vinyl or silicon. When you're gluing the red parts you can put some weight on it, like a chair, as if you were repairing a shoe, sticking a sole to it.
