3D printed a cup holder

Not having a cup holder has driven me nuts since day 1 of owning the car.

Got a 3D printer a few weeks ago so thought I would have a newbie attempt at designing and printing one. It just slots in instead of the ashtray and is designed to hold a can/500 ml bottle size.

Excuse the wild colour plastic, will prime and spray it to match the interior trim colour later.

Well that is excellent :thumbs:

Great use of a 3D printer, very neat indeed.
 
Digging your work but drinks in the car..... ye gods!
 
Have you done some calcs for how much lateral G it can handle? Sidewall doesn't look that high....

Hats off none the less. :worship:
 
Do you not have the 2 cup holder sliding tray in the dash?

Also, like someone else said, the walls of the holder arent tall enough. From memory, most cup holders are half the height of a normal 330ml can
 
Not sure about the colour match.....

:floor:

Just a prototype print and was the crazy translucent orange filament I had to hand. Final version will be painted to match trim.

I dont have the holes in the dash vents to fit the oem cup holders.

Cup wall height might be increased if I look like I pissed my pants after a spirited drive lol.
 
Will it hold a beer can?
 
Does it work well, have a 3d printer and was thinking of making something similar there, but looks like it's not tall enough to work and if it was tall enough would then get in way.

I have uploaded the 3D file below.

You can easily tweak the design using something like Tinkercad (free online cad program) to make it taller or wider.
