All LP9Engineering models are entirely designed with SolidWorks, from high-performance mechanical components for motorcycles and cars, to home accessories, desk organizers, and gadgets inspired by the most famous TV series: every single LP9Engineering model is designed and optimized to ensure clean prints, perfect fits, and maximum functionality. Projects ready to be printed, used, and tested! 🏍️🏠🎬

 

💥 Enduro Disc Brake Guard – Tested and Proven! 💥

Protect your motorcycle’s brake disc with our rugged, 3D-printable guard—designed specifically for KTM EXC and compatible with many other enduro bikes. After extensive testing on different motorcycles and simulating worst-case collisions (3000 N impact), this guard has consistently delivered outstanding performance with minimal deflection (just 0.965 mm!).

✅ Durable Design: Proven to withstand harsh impacts without failure.
✅ Easy to Print: Optimized for PLA+ but performs even better with advanced materials like aluminum or high-performance polymers.
✅ Field-Tested: Multiple real-world tests have shown excellent durability on various terrains and obstacles.

🔍 Our Study
This was a preliminary analysis for a project we plan to test on one of our vehicles, so it was not necessary to conduct it with an exhaustive level of detail at this stage. We designed and analyzed a disc brake guard for a KTM EXC, simulating the worst-case load scenario: a 3000 N force along the X-axis, representing a collision between the motorcycle and an obstacle at the most critical point of the guard.
 

📊 Simulation Results
The simulation revealed that:
- The component does not fail under the applied load.
- The maximum displacement recorded was 0.965 mm of deflection.
- The guard was 3D printed using PLA+, an affordable and relatively low-strength material. Despite this, the design proved capable of withstanding the applied load. Further simulations confirmed the component's resistance, suggesting that it could perform even better with more advanced materials, such as aluminum or high-performance polymers.
