CarPlay cup holder

I was fed up with constantly plugging my phone into the car charger every time I got behind the wheel. So, I took matters into my own hands and created a solution. The design of the bottom attachment could use some improvement, as it's not perfect. If I had more than one vehicle or needed to reprint, I would definitely give it another look. However, since this is my only car and I don't need to make any changes, I'm leaving it as is. This design was originally intended for a 2019 Kia Niro and an iPhone X/8 with a slim case. While it may fit other vehicles and phones, it's easy to modify if needed. Before printing, be sure to check the dimensions. You'll also need a standard lightning cable - the frayed kind works even better as it allows for smoother movement. To secure the cable in place, you'll require a spring from a ballpoint pen that wraps around the lightning cable and presses it into the phone. Additionally, some dental floss or wire is needed to keep everything in place when you remove your phone.
