Cup holder Mercedes E series W211 (2003-2008)

Human: printed upside down. A cup holder that dangles from the right-hand side of the center console. It clips in when you leave the door covering the cigarette lighter open. The SCAD file contains a series of variables allowing you to adjust it to your typical cup size. In my case, it's set for a 20 OZ Yeti tumbler. Variables you'd typically change are: c_ring_radius = 43.5; // inside radius of the cup ring c_ring_lift = 88; // height of the ring above the bottom of the cup c_cup_angle = 3; // angle incline of the main cup At the bottom, there are two display options. One shows the whole cupholder in one piece, while the other breaks it down into three parts for easier printing. If you want to see the complete cupholder in openSCAD, uncomment mod_complete(); If you want to see the separated printable parts in openSCAD, uncomment mod_parts(); I've also uploaded two STL versions (one complete and one in parts) for non-openSCAD users. When printing in parts, a good glue is needed to join the three parts together. Printing in parts eliminates the need for support structures. Version 3 of this design features a slightly different ring with lips and is positioned higher for a stronger connection with the hook/bridge. You can open the OpenSCAD file to see how it neatly splits into three interlocking parts. However, I learned that the printer prints slightly larger, causing the interlocking parts not to fit together smoothly. As a result, I decided to print the cup holder in a single piece, upside down, and it worked out well. Version 3 also takes a long time rendering in OpenSCAD. So, I'm leaving both version 2 and version 3 posted. If you just want to print it, take the version 3 upside-down STL file – it worked great for me.
