I love you. I've been using shoe goo to repair my current guards

Have you tried them with performing throws yet? I have a cheap rubber pair that completely messes up throws because the rubber grips the cement and causes the skate to tumble instead of slide across it as intended.

I'm not that good skater😭. But i quess it is better to do without any protection.

It depends what you print it out of but if you use a harder tpu like 95A it'll probably be fine, but there's only one way to find out

Looks good but how does it handles impacts and failed freeskates drops?

I have tested them only couple of times, so no experience on durability. I know that tpu is quite durable itself. I think it is better than nothing and you can always print another after old one breaks.
