Now using the paper density of 1,21g/cm³, I am actually at 8,5136g, so about 8.5g if we deduct the holes for the ties and add the ink weight of the print. So my initial estimation of using roughly 75% of the sheet was way off. I was actually using just under 46% of the material (45,92% to be exact, without holes).



In the end, it's all about the weight/volume ratio of the material used. Since we both used 0.01" thickness, the carbon is quite heavier than this synthetic paper. Although carbon looks cooler haha



So my mudguard is 8.5g without ties and has a 9.4" of overall coverage length with 1.35" forward coverage and above 8" of backward coverage, with a minimal width of 2.82" front coverage and max 4.28" to minimum 3" backward width coverage. That's a big mudguard.



I'll post a technical drawing if anybody is interested into making their own. Let me know.
