Introduction:
My name is Akalonu Chukwuduzie Blaise, and I am a student at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria.
Problem:
My Crocs footwear has become very common in my school, and often times it is hard to know my particular footwear. I came up with this solution to identify my footwear in public and also to make sure that I don't mix it up when I go into a room with my friends.
The initials "F" and "U" are after my roommate's initials, Frederick Uka, who always loves to wear Crocs once he gets the chance.
i used tinkercad for the letters, because its a lot easier, then transitioned fusion 360 for the clip,which is a lot easier to achieve with fusion 360 tools

- Open TinkerCAD software online
- Go to the text tool and edit to the letters "F" and "U" in the different scenarios.
- In the top right-hand corner of TinkerCAD, send to fusion 360.
- Create a sketch on the top face of the letter "U" .
- Using the overall slot tool, sketch a slot "12mm" long and "2.5mm" wide.
- Extrude the sketch of the slot by 5mm in accordance to the thickness of the Crocs measured with the Caliper.
- Create a sketch on the top face of the extruded slot and offset the slot by "2mm".
- Extrude the offset sketch by "2mm".
- Fillet the top face of the extruded sketch by "2mm".

After 3Dprinting attach the plugs into your crocs and ENJOY, they're fashionable and have become quite popular in my school
