Aprilia Chain Guard
Aprilia made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the chain guard is a regular on our bench. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Aprilia made solid gear, but the small plastics are always the first to go — and the chain guard is a regular on our bench. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.
Why these break
Chain guard cracks at the mounting holes. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
Bring in the broken part and we'll reverse engineer it — usually with a design tweak that addresses why it failed in the first place, not just a copy of the weak original.
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.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
