Design insoles digitally – with InsoleCAD

With InsoleCAD, you design custom insoles digitally, precisely, and efficiently.


In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a “flat insole base with toe spring” — quickly, efficiently, and using our proven insole base library. You’ll learn how to precisely adjust the shape and height and how to perfectly align the insole base with your insole design in the CAD system.

Creating a shell insole base from the existing library

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a shell insole base directly from the existing library. Using the GP Manager CAD software, you can precisely adjust the shape and contour and seamlessly integrate the insole base into your insole design. This way, you work efficiently, precisely, and professionally — with digital insole manufacturing.

Cold Pull: How to Effectively Clean Your 3D Printer

In this tutorial, we’ll show you step by step how to efficiently clean your 3D printer using the “Cold Pull” method. This technique is ideal for removing leftover material and contaminants from the nozzle, optimizing your print quality.

What You’ll Need:

  •  Side cutters

  •  Cleaning filament

You should perform the “Cold Pull” procedure in the following cases:

  •  Clogged nozzle

  •  Under-extrusion

  •  After every second spool change

  •  At least once a month for maintenance

Keep your printer clean and ensure consistent, high-quality print results!

Nozzle Replacement: How to Change the Nozzle on Your 3D Printer

In this tutorial, we will show you step by step how to replace the nozzle on your 3D printer. Before installing the new nozzle, be sure to remove any remaining filament from the old nozzle.  

What You`ll Need: 

  • Size 7 open-end wrench 
  • Combination pliers 

You should replace your nozzle in the following cases: 

  • Persistent print quality issues despite multiple cold pulls 
  • Frequent cleaning has worn down the nozzle’s coating 

Clean your printer regularly to ensure consistent, high-quality print results! 

Filament change: How to change the filament on your 3D printer

In this tutorial, we will show you step by step how to change the filament on your 3D printer.

Before you change the filament, you should make sure that you have dried the new filament sufficiently beforehand or that it remians in the dryer for at least 12 hours after the change before you start the next print.

What you need:
• New (ideally already dried) filament
• Cleaning filament
• Side cutter

You should carry out a filament change in the following cases:
• Your filament is empty
• Your filament is not sufficiently dry

Clean the outside and inside of the nozzle every time you change the filament to ensure consistent, high-quality printing results!

Calibration: How to Calibrate Your 3D Printer

In this tutorial, we will show you step by step how to calibrate your 3D printer and optimally adjust your print bed. Before performing bed calibration, ensure the nozzle is completely clean.

What you will need:
• Possibly an open-end wrench (7 mm)

You should check your calibration if:
• The first layer isn’t printed cleanly
• The nozzle touches the print bed
• The filament clogs in the extruder during the first layer
• The printer prints in mid-air

Regularly check your calibration to ensure consistent, high-quality printing results!
