A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.
Choose the needed variant, then slice it for grams, cost, and print time.

3DPrintedCarPartDescription
This is the cap for the tow hook on the front bumper for Audi A3/A4 2001-2005 B6. Mine is delicately and diligently broken by the tow car driver. So I designed a new one. (Note that the photos are from an older version. The one I uploaded fits super nicely to my car). 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 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.
