Front fork mudguard for mountain bike

A fork-mounted mudguard sits under the crown and behind the arch to keep mud out of your eyes and off the stanchions. The guard is about 250 mm long and 100 mm wide with four zip-tie slots 5 x 3 mm along the sides, a 1.5 mm thickness for flex, and a curved profile with a 90 mm radius to follow a 2.4 inch tyre. Printing it flat in TPU or thin PETG gives the compliance needed to bend around the fork arch without cracking. 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.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Example prompt

Design a mountain bike front fork mudguard 250 mm long and 100 mm wide, 1.5 mm thick, curved to a 90 mm radius, with four 5 x 3 mm zip-tie slots along each edge, a 60 mm wide notch for the fork arch, and 2 mm rounded corners.

This prompt comes with the ready-made model when you sign in, in case you want the AI to redesign it (3 credits a redesign); changing numbers in the viewer is free.

Fit notes

Forks differ in arch width and stanchion spacing, and SpeakCAD sizes the slots and the cut-out for your exact fork rather than a generic template. Widen the guard for plus tyres or add a logo recess 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.
