Minimalist aero hub cap (rim cover, trim) for Skoda Fabia, Octavia, Kodiaq, Karoq, Superb

The Skoda Aero rims are fitted with very large and aesthetically questionable hub caps as standard, which - depending on taste - can detract from the appearance of the rims. Unfortunately, Skoda does not offer smaller caps that protect the wheel hub without detracting from the design.

This model was developed for this purpose. The minimalist aero hubcap fits perfectly with a variety of Skoda aero rims and has been specially designed for 3D printing, making it super easy to print, with no overhangs and no support structure.

Product details

• Universal fit: Suitable for Skoda aero rims with 53 cm rim opening.

• Modular design: The hubcap consists of several individual parts that are simply plugged together. This design ensures maximum stability and enables printing on small printing areas of less than 100x100 mm.

• Tool-free assembly: The individual parts of the hubcap can be assembled without tools. The only screw connection required is also printed and fits into the space provided to hold everything securely in place.

Optimal for your Skoda

Whether Octavia, Fabia, Karoq, Kodiaq or Superb - this hubcap gives your vehicle a stylish aesthetic. Ideal for car enthusiasts who value design.

Disclaimer

These trim panels have been developed for aesthetic purposes only and have not been tested. Their ability to withstand the centrifugal forces on a wheel is significantly influenced by the material used and the printing properties. Any warranty is excluded as these covers are designed for stationary vehicles only. When used on a moving vehicle, it is the owner's responsibility to check the suitability and safety of the decorative covers themselves or to have them checked by an authorized body at their place of residence.

This decorative trim consists of four separate elements, each of which should be produced with different printing parameters to achieve optimum results.

General settings for all parts

• Choice of material: At least PETG is recommended. PLA should be avoided as it does not offer the required strength and heat resistance. Carbon reinforced PETG is ideal for added rigidity and improved appearance. Materials such as ABS or nylon offer even better properties.

• Printing temperature: High printing temperatures are required to ensure maximum strength of the material.

• Flow calibration: Perfect flow calibration is crucial to achieve the best possible material strength and accuracy of fit.

• Fitting accuracy: All parts are designed for an accuracy of -0.10 mm. If the fit is too loose or too tight, the values should be corrected via Hole Compensation, XY Compensation or by adjusting the dimensions of the element.

Additional measures

• Reinforcement with adhesive: Each mated part can be additionally reinforced with adhesive. The choice of adhesive is crucial and should be suitable for the printed material.

• Welding with a soldering iron: In addition, all plastic parts can be welded with a soldering iron on the non-visible inside mating areas to ensure an even stronger and permanent connection.
