Chainring Guard for Author Orbit and Similar Bikes

Simple, functional, and safer!
This basic chainring guard is designed to protect  legs from grease and sharp teeth on the chainring of an Author Orbit bike (or similar models). The original plastic cover broke, so I created this as a quick replacement. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done!

🔧 Key Features:

✔ Basic protection – Prevents chainring-related scrapes and grease stains.
✔ Universal fit – May work for other bikes with similar chainring sizes (check dimensions!).
✔ Easy to install – Uses 3x M4x10 screws (threads self-tap into 3.4mm holes – go gently!).
✔ Washers included – Helps with alignment and prevents over-tightening.

⚠ Note:

• Not a high-end part – Designed for practicality.
• No pre-threaded holes – Screws tap themselves (use a longer screw + nut if threads strip).
• Measure first! A sketch with critical dimensions is included – verify fit before printing.

🖨️ Print & Install Tips:

• Material: PLA is good enough
• Layer height: 0.2mm 
• Supports: Not needed.
• Installation:
  1. Hand-tighten screws first to avoid stripping.
  2. Align the guard with the chainring.
  3. Add washers to fine-tune spacing.
