Ashtray Replacement for E92

thingiverse

Hello, Work in progress, might not fit this is my first try to create something. It is a replacement for the Ashtray in a BMW 3series E92, it might also fit into E90, E91 and E93. As this is a work in progress, feel free to redesign it and make it better. Of course you can remix it, but since this is a non-commercial project, i would like to not branch out the evolution of the Project. So if you remix it, i would like to include the remixed files into this page. And if you like it that much and you are willing to part with some money, here you go: https://www.gofundme.com/f/3dprint-cupholer-e92?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 ***V11 released*** I made two seperate files for the Cupholder itself and two for the clamps. Also adjusted depth of Cup and shifted the Cup downward. ***Mounted into vehicle*** Still needs to be cut to fit into place. But looks pretty neat, i think... ***First Test on the Road with V12*** This is pretty useless, unless you have a cup/bottle which fits tightly into the hole. Since the holes are not very deep, the cup/bottle tends to fall over. The clamps I designed need to be redesigned or made from a stiffer material, since the Cupholder tends to get lose, maybe because of the heat in the car and the PLA I used tends to get soft in with higher temperature. BUT: It is still of more use than the ashtray, because the holes can hold coins, mints or other stuff you need while traveling. I might convert it to an holding place for the phone and will try to insert an opening for the original cigarette lighter and so on. Maybe the design could be altered to be more versatile, a baseplate to attach/insert different adapters for different things to hold. I am also inviting everyone to alter/adapt the design.
