Everything prints without support in the orientation shown, the clip in PLA or PETG, the flap in TPU. PETG is supposed to have a better UV resistance but PLA will give you plenty of service life too. The band is there to test the fit without printing the complete flap.
Tips for installing:
- check the clip fits the fender
- put the flap on the clip off the bike
- slide them on the fender (like a sock). Since there are no tolerances, it must be slid perfectly straight. You'll get it after a few attempts.
For riveting:
- drill the hole with the mudflap mounted on the fender, beware of the tire!
- put the rivet
