UPDATE: STL Files
source files
I recently cracked my rear fender on my Apollo Go from going off a curb too slow. At some point the rest of it broke off and popped my tire and I crashed at an intersection. Really messed up my wrist. It's not broken but I've been working on getting things back together so I had to buy a new wheel and got the $29 one on Amazon and followed the videos and checked in here. I wanted a fender that wasn't going to do that again so I looked in here and there is a guy that was printing them and making them for people but he's gone MIA.

I took the STL file that Apollo provides and threw it into Claude and designed one based off of the other guy's designs a little bit but not as motocrossy. I think I like his designs more but mine are a bit more functional. The funny thing is I don't even think I need a rear fender. I don't ride in the rain or on too much gravel, but I do want to be able to just put it back together as part of the process of healing.

Anyway it arrived today so I took the 3D file and sent it off to China for a very specific type of plastic that handles heat. I chose China based on price. That's where the scooter came from anyway. It's looking pretty good and I'm feeling pretty good about it. I've already ridden a couple times since the crash. It still hurts a bit but it does feel good to put everything back together.

Anyway just let me know if you want. I might be the more current 3D printed fender guy now but it was really easy. I just used AI and I think we all could nowadays too.

Since this was my first print and I didn't get to prototype at home, I am seeing it now for the first time and I think I would make it a lot shorter on the next version.
