Fleming Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I had some free time at work today and decided to misappropriate company resources and make a bash ring on our 3D printer. I know it wont be very strong but I dont plan to use it to protect the chain rings. I want to change from a triple to a double ring setup using the same crank and think the bash ring will make the double setup look more complete. I will mount it on the bike later and take some more pics. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/stuartfleming/IMG_20160422_114704_zps1dncwb5i.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/stuartfleming/IMG_20160422_131610_zpsjr2ykfah.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/stuartfleming/IMG_20160422_132516_zpswq03xxp1.jpg
Fleming Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 Needed a bit of filling to make it fit the crank spigot but overall I am pretty happy. Posted from a mobile device using Tapatalk.
Fleming Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 Pretty cool. Could you print a marsh guard?What is a marsh guard? Posted from a mobile device using Tapatalk.
AlanD Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 What is a marsh guard? Posted from a mobile device using Tapatalk.It a mud guard
Fleming Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 Cool, but wasn't that moer expensive.Including electricity to run the printer it was less than R30. Main issue is it took nearly 5 hours to make. Posted from a mobile device using Tapatalk.

Fleming Posted April 22, 2016 Author Posted April 22, 2016 It a mud guardIt can be done but the printed parts are not very flexible. I think it would be easier to cut one from a piece of plastic. The lid of a ice cream container would probably be a good place to start. Posted from a mobile device using Tapatalk.

Yusran Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I printed a bash guard for a double ring setup (40/28). It is super strong, I bashed my full weight and momentum on it while I was learning to climb low walls and it barely felt a thing Printed at 0.2mm layer resolution with rectilinear infill (almost halved print time vs honeycomb) @ 90% infill density (apologies for the poor lighting in my bedroom)
Fleming Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 Some pics of it fitted to le bike Glad to know they can be durable Posted from a mobile device using Tapatalk.
