The chain guard for my Specialized COMO SL 5.0 caught on my right pant leg and popped loose. After a closer look at the design, I made a version that extends lower over the front sprocket reducing the likelihood of a catch. In addition, added more material where the top screw connects and extended the rear portion of the cover.
Files include a single piece and two-piece version (for smaller printer beds).
I completed various test prints and versions in PETG and PCTG to fine-tine the design. Pretty happy with this result and have tested for a week. Final print was done pictured is with PETG-CF (bambu labs) with supports (I used PLA interface to help with support removal) on a Bambu Labs X1 Carbon. Printed as 2-piece and used CA Glue (CyanoAcrylate, aka “Super Glue”) to hold the parts together (slightly sanded the contact surfaces).
If you are concerned with UV exposure ASA-CF or ASA is a good choice. I prefer ASA-CF as it prints with less warping influences from temperature differences. PLA will also likely work but may fade / discolor overtime in UV (depending on how much sun your bike gets). ABS, PA, PP, and other composites would also work :-)
Happy printing!
