Laces no longer spread Ruiz Brothers launches 3D printed lace magnetic closure

Ben Wang - January 10th, people who love 3D printing know that Noe and Pedro Ruiz are very famous on Adafruit. They are called Ruiz brothers because they usually combine electronic projects with 3D printing. Create amazing results. Currently, they have recently released a fascinating project on Adafruit to churn out the rakes? 糜 Print, assemble and complete their own magnetic lace closures in 3D. The design is easy to customize, so it can be adapted to your specific shoe factory?? Wash plate?

Before production, you need a 3D printer, 3D printing materials, digital caliper and high-strength rare earth magnets, all of which can be purchased on the Adafruit website. In addition, you can download 3D printed parts from Autodesk 360 (including user parameters), Thingiverse, Youmagine, or Pinshape.

It is understood that lace closure is designed in Fusion 360. You can download different formats to use in your preferred modeling program, or modify existing designs by adjusting the size of the cover itself, the spacing of the shoelaces, and the magnet size.

The Ruiz brothers stated that “magnets may have small variations in size and thickness, so we need to make sure the tolerances are tight. Measure each magnet carefully and then update the height of the closed chamber.” In the Fusion 360, the shoelace hole needs to be controlled and The distance between the magnets, so you need to measure and adjust these values ​​based on the size of the tongue and the spacing between shoelaces. The default closure length should work on most shoes, but if needed, you can update the design file to fully customize the closure.

The first step in the assembly process is to install the magnet inside the lace closure. The magnets are facing each other so that different polarities are attracted rather than repelled, and they are pressed into each side of the cover. In order to ensure that it is tightly fitted, the magnets will not pull out of the closed chamber, so it is necessary to test the strength of pulling and closing several times. If necessary, you can adjust the design or use an adhesive to hold the magnet in place.

Now you need to attach the 3D printed shoelace closure to the actual shoe. First of all, you need to unlock them first, but you must leave the laces in the last row of holes. Then you can go through each hole in the seal, through the lace hole, from the sole to the top of the shoe. Remember to leave some slack so that your shoelaces don't get too tight. Maybe you put on your shoes to test, your shoes will not be tight, and the magnets can attract each other. After that, the excess shoelace passes through the inside of the shoe and knots to fix it in place. Then repeat the action just described and you can complete the installation.


The Ruiz brothers conducted a final test on their magnetic cover with shoes. The end result of the test was that they did not encounter any problems with magnet removal. When you put on your shoes, these closures quickly come together and can easily fall off at the end of the day. The Ruiz brothers said, "For anyone who wants to design for 3D printing, this is a great project idea."
