I am not 100% sureā€¦

I did not back track on the trail to go find itā€¦
I think I may have moved 20 or 50 meters before realizing it was goneā€¦

This is my quess.

The wheels sprocket hit a rock just right breaking the chainā€¦

Lots of rocks like that on that little trailā€¦

Or maybe that is the exciting story and all that that happened was my master link came looseā€¦ No half links on this time.

Thatā€™s a good information to know and good the chain just dropped when broke.

So @Andy87
Earlier in the day yesterday I did something differentā€¦
I put the board in my car and drive to a park to ride a mountain bike specific trail.

It was crazy hardā€¦
Narrowā€¦ Twisty and rocky as hellā€¦
Pictures donā€™t do it justice.

I had to walk next to my board and pick it up a bunch of timesā€¦

And in no time I was drenched in sweat.

But it was kind of fun and definitely a challenge I want to explore moreā€¦

The chain broke in the familiar trailer near my houseā€¦
And I was able to ride back with just one chain no problemsā€¦

It looks super clean! What material and 3df?

I might consider printing in ABS and vapor sealing them to increase strength, especially with that layer orientation

This is ABS. Iā€™m actually really surprised by how sturdy it feels. This one is a prototype that I printed to check the fit. I just finished designing it.

Itā€™s cool bro, yeah it probably feels strong but those are some high stress areas lol

Lmao I was thinking about designing something like this for my street board to help me turn tighterā€¦ Have you tried it yet? How strong is it??

You should give a look at the Yobis thread

I have some free-bord binding that I picked up years ago. People always ask me about them and I donā€™t think you can currently buy them, so I figured Iā€™d try to design some that could be 3D printed.

This design is fresh off the printer. I havenā€™t tried them out yet and the weather is shit today. Hopefully, sometime this week. They do feel super strong.

I can vouch for this, I witnessed it in action myself. Instant bond so make sure you have whatever youā€™re bonding where you want it before you press it together.

you can buy them, but they arenā€™t selling the hardware to affix it to the board. which is the plate and some other things.
