About this print
A rear mudguard designed for mountain bikes, protecting the rider and frame from mud and debris thrown up by the rear wheel during off-road riding. The model is available with and without a logo graphic on the surface. TPU is a suitable material as its natural flexibility allows the guard to bend on impact rather than crack, which suits the demands of rough trail riding.

There are plenty of sketches online to make your own MTB mudguard. But why go to all the trouble of tracing, cutting, and punching holes?
This model is designed to be printed at 0.28mm (or 0.3mm) and is exactly 3 layers thick which provides strength while still remaining flexible.
There are versions with and without the Specialized logo. I recommend color changes for the last logo layer.
UPDATE 8/16/2017: Version 2 is updated geometry after attaching the prototype to my bike.
UPDATE: 9/4/2018: I added a YT version from Gordon (Edicius Tasf) to the collection.
**NOTE:** If you would like a version with **your** favorite logo, just let me know and I will make one for you.
**INSTALLATION:** Here is a video on how to install on your bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rXTV8fxGfo
UPDATE: 10/12/2018: I added a version of the mudguard for the rear tire.
**UPDATE: 8/5/2020:** I am no longer going to generate custom versions of the mudguard. I have uploaded a measured drawing so that you can make your own versions if you want.

Printing Mountain Bike MTB Mudguard
For Mountain Bike MTB Mudguard we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
