Cupholder

thingiverse

I have an '85 Chevy Suburban with a bench seat. I wanted a cupholder for the truck, but didn't want to mount anything on the dash. There's a great spot on the transmission hump next to the 4wd shifter, so I designed a simple cupholder in OpenSCAD and printed it out. Works great. This could probably work in a variety of other applications as well. I included the original OpenSCAD code, so it should be fairly simple to adjust sizes for some other applications. Print 1 top, 1 base, and 4 pillars. UPDATE: I decided I wanted the cupholder to be level. The transmission hump on my truck is angled, so I made a new base that is wedge shaped. I added a recess into the bottom of the wedge and epoxied in a heavy weight (a chunk of steel bar). This works great. The original files are still here, but I have added the wedge as a separate file as well as the new combined base. The cup holes are fairly large, so they will fit large sodas or some of my big coffee mugs I use while traveling. However they will hold regular size soda cans as well, since the top will keep them from moving too much. Print Settings Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX v2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Infill: 25-35% Notes: Supports are needed for the screw holes that connect the top and bottom to the pillars. I use a pretty large air gap specification in my support settings, so the support structure pops out easily. If you don't want to print with supports, you can edit the OpenSCAD file to not recess the screw heads and just have an open hole starting from the bottom surface.
