ChainStay - a bicycle chain holder by filament_required

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

ChainStay is a bicycle chain holder which keeps the chain in place when the rear wheel is removed. ChainStay tensions the chain for preventing damage of the frame. ChainStay also prevents the frame from being bent (until the printed plastic bursts :) by fixing the distance between the dropouts.
The tolerances of the parts are tight such that all parts can be press fitted without the need for glue. You'll only need a quick release to fix ChainStay in the frame.
Due to the self-reinforcing form fit when the left and right parts are assembled, the construction is very stiff and does not need much infill.
Use chainstay_spacer_left_135mm.stl for 135 mm dropout spacing (most MTBs) and chainstay_spacer_left_130mm.stl for 130 mm spacing (most road bikes).
