Single-speed chain guide for bottom bracket
A chain guide keeps the chain from bouncing off the chainring on single-speed or 1x setups over rough ground. The guide mounts to ISCG05 tabs on a 73 mm bolt circle with three 6.5 mm holes, and its upper cage is 12 mm wide with 1 mm clearance either side of a 3/32 inch chain and a smooth 3 mm entry radius. PETG or nylon handle the chain slap, and a 3 mm plate with 2 mm fillets around the holes prevents cracking under bolt torque. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Create an ISCG05 chain guide with three 6.5 mm holes on a 73 mm bolt circle, a 3 mm plate, and an upper cage 12 mm wide and 25 mm long positioned for a 32-tooth chainring with 1 mm chain clearance, 3 mm entry radius and 2 mm fillets.
Fit notes
Chainring sizes change the cage radius, so SpeakCAD calculates the guide for your specific tooth count and mount type rather than making you sand a downloaded one. Adjust the cage height or switch to a BB-mount ring in the chat, and preview in the browser.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
