Summary

This is a 2-part sandal for kids that can be printed on a Cupcake.

Instructions

This is a very simple & easy sandal that was designed to fit a ~5 year old (ie, ~kids size 12). Because at the time I only had access to Cupcake, it is designed in two parts that are joined together using acetone. Print the top and bottom halves, and smooth the joint edges with a small flat file until the pieces fit snugly together. Weld them together by putting the pieces together so they are flush, dribbling a small amount of acetone along the joint on both sides, and then squishing the pieces together. Hold firmly for a minute or so and then let dry on something flat (eg. glass or wax paper on a flat board.)

To print the other foot, just mirror the parts in ReplicatorG or your printer program.

Strap material is 9/16" webbing. A nail is used to hold the strap in at the toe, and the sides and nail are hot-glued down. I also used hot glue in the channels on the bottom to provide a little grip, but other rubbery substances that will stick to your print material could also work.
