Hi.
I'm pretty new on this forum, so this is my first topic :)
Anyway, I'm restoring my 1997 GT Tequesta and thought about chain guard on crankset. Had previously lot of issues with broken or smudged trousers, so went this way 😁
I have opportunity to use pretty good 3D printer, so I designed guard from scratch (using chainring spokes as template) and print it. The weight is around 50-55g (for weight weenies 😀)

Of course, it cannot be so ugly so I painted is and tried on my crankset (SR Apex 350) with Stronlight chainrings
I looks good to me.. paint can be better, but this was just quick job to test.

How do you like it?
 
Well, idea is to fix it via plastic clips pushed inside chainring bolts. Need to test how strong it will be... but mounting is completely independent of crankset function and can be quckly mounted or removed 🙂
