Cupholder

thingiverse

I own an '85 Chevy Suburban equipped with a bench seat. I needed a cupholder for my truck but didn't want to install anything on the dash. There's a perfect spot next to the 4wd shifter on the transmission hump, so I designed a simple cupholder using OpenSCAD and printed it out. It works flawlessly. This design could probably work well in various other applications as well. I included the original OpenSCAD code, making it easy to adjust sizes for different uses. Print one top piece, one base piece, and four pillars. UPDATE: I decided I wanted my cupholder to be level. My truck's transmission hump is angled, so I created a new base that is wedge-shaped. I added a recess into the bottom of the wedge and glued in a heavy weight - a chunk of steel bar. This works perfectly well. The cup holes are relatively large, accommodating big sodas or some of my large coffee mugs I use while traveling. They will also fit regular size soda cans 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 necessary 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 comes 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.
