3D Printed Hub Caps for the Winter Wheels

TL;DR Good enough 

 

Those were a long time coming as I did 3D print a first prototype when I first installed the winter wheels over a year ago now.

 

This time I took the time to properly measure the centre hole of the Citroën C1 / Peugeot 107 steel wheels, and did modify the design with a 54.8mm diameter for the external part of the clips.

 

They fit quite well and securely. All that's required is to insert them very straight as any tilt won't let the 2 last clips enter the centre bore.

Front ones cover the castellated nuts, and I chose to have flat caps on the back. On Caterham 160/165, the four of them are protruding. And they are not compatible with those Peugeot/Citroën wheels as far as I know.

 

The material of choice was black PETG, printed with 0.32mm layers. 

A kit of 45mm aluminium hub cap badges was procured from Aliexpress (3.50€ for the set of 4, P&P included). They came in just after the Image Wheels were installed, so they'll wait for next year.
