Don't we all know this problem? You're tying your shoes and suddenly the little plastic piece holding the string ends together, flies off into the sunset as you pull the strings tight. 

Oh no - the strings will start fraying and pull apart in no time - what now?

Fear not - the solution to all (ok, some) of your problems is here. 

Simply replace the old end-caps with these minimalist aglets and you're good to go.

"But how?"  - You ask, holding your dying shoestring in hand. 

Don't worry, it's really easy. 

Simply print these aglets in your favorite color on your trusted SLA printer, then screw them onto the ends of your laces. Done! Your laces are now safe again. 

Pro-Tip: You might want to cut off the frayed ends of your laces and quickly melt and compress the ends with a lighter. This will make inserting the ends into the new aglets way easier.
