Description
The thing contains 3 parts: The cap itself, the hook that pins the cap to the bumper (couldn't find a better name) and a pin that secures the cap to the car (also couldn't find a better name). The hook needs to be glued to the rear of the cap. I designed it in that way, because if you still have the original metal hook then you can use that too. But the hook that I designed works well too. The only issue is that it is not very easy to remove. But I think it is a good thing.
FreeCAD file is included and please remix this thing.
Oh one nice note about the design is that I have scanned the bumper of the car with [AliceVision Meshroom](https://alicevision.org/#meshroom) and it worked super well. The related part of the scanned model is included in the FreeCAD file.
I printed it with PLA+ but I guess PETG is a better choice. Use %100 infill.

|---|---|---|
| PLA | $21.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $21.50 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $23.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $22.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $26.00 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $26.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $28.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Cost examples only. This design is not offered for sale; permission or specialist application review is required.
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
