Is it plastic or rubber?

Rubberlike material TPU 90A, great for flexible prints.

Maybe its an idea to print supports with pla. But dont know if your printer can do 2 types of filament at a time..

The more expensive model can, ours only has a single nozzle.

Is it a high heel?

No, it had to be printed diagonally to fit my shoesize in the printer volume 😅 the “heel” is support structure
