Customizable Yeti Rambler Car Adaptor

thingiverse

The Rambler 14oz Yeti Cup Holder Adapter keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. However, it doesn't fit standard car cup holders at all. Fortunately, there are simpler options available, but this one is more fun. The adapter currently has three different options that may or may not fit your vehicle. For each option, you can use either a Thumb Bolt or a Basic Bolt. The Basic Bolt requires an additional Slip Nut and allows for extra adjustment. A regular washer/nut is also included, although I'm struggling to get my printer to print perfect circles. Two arm lengths are provided: 30mm and 50mm. I recommend trying the listed required parts and adjusting as needed. The arms are 5x5xlength with 3.5mm holes. The bolts are 15mm, M15x1.5, 6g, right-hand thread. During slicing, you can rotate and position all parts to avoid supports. Once in place, the Joint Pegs move easily and don't fall out, but they're a pain to get in by hand. I suggest using a pair of pliers gently. OPTION A: This is the best option for my '16 Volkswagen Golf due to its slick, slightly sloping sides. The base pulls tight against the bottom of the spring-loaded braces that are part of the vehicle's cup holder. The base and Cup Adapter are pulled together via a screw to prevent movement and create a tight fit. Depending on your vehicle, this is probably the simplest option. Parts Required: Cup Adapter (1), Option A Base (1), 85mm Thumb Bolt (1), Split Nut (1). OPTION B: This works best in my '07 Jeep Wrangler but not in my Golf. The Wrangler cup holder has straight sides with a rubberized plastic insert and no spring-loaded braces. This keeps the Adapter Arms tight against the sides of the cup holder and helps pull the Cup Adapter down and into place. Parts Required: Cup Adapter (1), Option B Base (1), Option B Upper Mount (1), Option B Foot (3), 30mm Arm (6), Joint Peg (12), 85mm Thumb Bolt (1), Split Nut (2). OPTION C: This also works in my '07 Jeep Wrangler but not in my Golf. This option works for the same reasons as Option B but is simpler, with higher bracing in the cup holder and might be easier to adjust. Parts Required: Cup Adapter (1), Option C Lower Mount (1), 30mm Arm (4), Option C Foot (4), Option C Upper Mount (4), 85mm Thump Bolt (1), Joint Peg (8), Split Nut (1).
