Description

The Xiegu G90 comes with metal rails for the rear and front to protect its connectors, buttons, and knobs. These heavy duty replacement rails make the Xiegu G90 easier to handle, gentler on a backpack, and more durable. These rails extensively field tested in extreme outdoor conditions (109°F heat, freezing weather, bangs, bumps, falls, etc.). Ideal durability comes from using a high infill percentage, e.g., > 80%, and using PETG filament, which will make the print resistant to sun, heat, and weather. Rails printed on my Ender 3 have held up extremely well to multiple trips in a backpack to deserts and mountains.

If you don't have a 3D printer, message me and we can work something out.

Latest Update 9/30/21: Updated front rail to allow more space for the comm port plug. Increased thickness of the rails.

Thanks for sharing your design. I have been looking for a better option than the stock rails. These are fantastic!
