Land Rover LR3 Discovery 3 passenger cupholder fix

thingiverse

Two small printed parts to restore the hidge function on the passenger cup holder of the Disco 3 / LR3. I think its common for the small pins to shear off leaving the lower part of the cupholder non-functional; these two parts friction-fit into the tray and provide the hinge. I think the only other fix is to replace the entire assembly. Just print 2 and install as shown, glue could be used but mine were a snug friction-fit as is. mine were in ABS with supports. I dont know how my cupholder broke (broke before i got the vehicle), if it seems like a likely thing to get broken again it might be worth printing "upright" so the pins on this part are more likely to break (weak across the Z axis) so these break rather than other parts of cupholder... or overall just print them weaker (thinner wall, etc)... just a thought.
