Škoda offers car accessories as free 3D printable files

On 19 October 2026, Škoda Auto launched “Printly Clever”, a new scheme that offers in-car accessories as free digital files. Owners download the files from Škoda’s profile on Printables.com, adapt them to their needs if they wish, and print them on their own 3D printers at home.

The first selection focuses on everyday items: cupholders, phone brackets, cable organisers, coin boxes, storage boxes, and a USB cable holder and cap hook for seat-back pockets. So far the most popular item is a hook that fits the unused top tether (ISOFIX) anchor point. Many of the parts slot into existing storage compartments without any modification to the car, and they are not limited to one model: files are available for current Škodas and for many discontinued ones.

The parts for the electric Epiq and Peaq came directly from customer suggestions: cupholder covers, a large box tray, a lower console organiser, and a clip-on cupholder for the Peaq’s folding table that fits both standard and large cups. The designs come from Škoda’s innovation incubator together with its engineering and design teams. The company says the approach avoids the tooling, inventory and long lead times of conventional production, and that feedback on Printables will guide which designs come next. Škoda says it is the first carmaker to offer such accessories through a dedicated platform. According to Auto Express, the company recommends heat-resistant material so that parts do not deform in a car parked in the sun.
