Yamaha Chain Guard
A broken chain guard shouldn't sideline otherwise good Yamaha equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

A broken chain guard shouldn't sideline otherwise good Yamaha equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.
Why these break
Chain guard cracks at the mounting holes. The original was moulded thin to save cents at production volume. That was fine when the plastic was fresh — twenty years on, there's no margin left in it.
How we reproduce them
We model these in CAD from your sample, print a test-fit first, then run the final part once the fit is confirmed. Expect a few days end to end.
We print these in PETG-CF. Carbon-fibre PETG is noticeably stiffer than the stock plastic, so the part holds its shape under clamping force instead of slowly creeping loose.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
