Everybody is probably asking why another shield, right?
We have amazing shields for boosted board already, why have another one?
Well, if you ever printed and used one, you probably got it broken in a matter of days if you use your truck loose. That happens because the kingpin area gets compressed and, when you turn, it will bite the plastic guard.
So after having broke twice, I've decided to make my own guard by not holding on the pin area.
Also, I wanted it to cover more and have a better looking ventilation area, which is why I had it as the boosted logo.
This build will go under the plastic sides, and it will have 2 small flaps to prevent it going up, then 2 small legs to avoid it moving forward. It is a tight placement, so you will need to adjust to fit it. I recommend placing the front first, and kind of like sideways put one of the small flaps in place and then try to put the second on under the plastic cover of the motor.
Also, keep in mind that I used my boosted board mini S as "template", so I cannot guarantee it will fit any other boosted board. Give it a try and let me know.
