Fork Protectors to fit Honda MSX-125 Grom

prusaprinters

<p>When you fit a high mudguard / fender on the Honda MSX-125 Grom, you expose the lower fork legs by removing the original mudguard which doubles as a protector.&nbsp;</p><p>You can use the Honda Monkey 125 fork protectors but they are quite expensive for what they are, so my solution was to create a 3D printable and slimmer version. These are modelled to fit in the original mudguard location and are designed to protect the whole length of the exposed lower fork leg.</p><p>I printed them in PETG and I added enough perimeters to make the top part solid (3 or 4 perimeters should do). I printed them in an upright position to keep the ugliest parts down where it's hardest to see. This uses quite a bit of support, but I think it's worth it.</p><p><strong>Please note</strong> the model is only for the right hand side (throttle) fork leg, <i>to get the other side you need to mirror the existing model in your slicer software</i>.</p><p>I included the gcode from my last print in PETG 0.15mm layer height for my Prusa i3 Mk3. <i>This print file includes both left and right fork protector.</i></p><p>For finishing, I drill out the holes with a 6mm drill bit and then finish the rest with a sharp knife and files.</p><p>I have a video on YouTube that describes the installation of a CR50 mudguard and the 3D printed fork protectors.&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/0jfUtoC0tjg"></oembed></figure><p>Happy printing!</p>
