UPDATED: Hydro Flask and Coffee Mug MODULAR Car Cup Holder Adapter

thingiverse

Here is a two piece design for your car's cup holder that fits most paper cups and Hydro Flask bottles, no support needed when printed with your choice of bottom sections: one narrow or one wide. The two pieces thread together after printing, making the bottom sections interchangeable. One bottom version has ridges to catch rubber pieces found in large cup holders, keeping this adapter from coming out accidentally. Using just the wide version with its bottom and no top is less likely to spill beverages because it keeps cups firmly inside your car's cup holders without holding too tightly to them. I incorporated an innovative feature that allows for a coffee mug handle by cutting out a large hole to make room, something Bengal512 first introduced on thingiverse. Printing in ABS then smoothing with acetone provides the strongest and longest lasting results. An updated version now available REVi works perfectly with Contigo 16 ounce, Kleen Kanteen 16 ounce, Hydro Flasks and the listed 32 ounce stainless steel bottles also have a precise secure fit. Most paper cups can still be used securely in car's standard cup holders while using this adapter. You'll find solidworks STL Parasolid models of all versions included: two pieces narrow and wide, one piece matching narrow dimensions from previous version. I updated the description so now you can use nearly any Hydro Flask that fits into a cup holder securely with my thing. A picture showing company size charts is linked at end if interested in learning more details on sizes of Hydro Flask. Print settings that worked perfectly are provided here: 1 Printer brand Afinia H480 3D printer was used, but other printers can be successfully used. 2 Print rafts and supports yes or no, which one will it be for you? 3 Printing with resolution set to .25mm seems best and I suggest trying out the best infill for your cup holders. This updated version fits Contigo Klean Kanteen 16 oz in addition to Hydro Flask 16 oz in standard and large cup holder. It makes cups safe so even if it comes out from your car's cup holder it won't fall over and spill your favorite drink, this happens sometimes when a larger than average travel mug slips free of tight gripping cup holder which could potentially hurt or cause injuries to your feet. But our design prevents those incidents because it is able to secure most any cup sizes well and safely, with no need for supports! Just follow these easy steps: Print it in ABS then acetone smoothen and be sure the base is smooth so drinks don't splash over edge of cups during car rides or drives, you will love how easy installation works - install into your favorite mug holder now. Note: For a secure fit use wide bottom of two-piece model and insert paper cups inside as they provide protection against spillage too; Bengal512 first thought this innovative feature making holes in larger objects which allow bigger mugs with handle but it took them awhile to see the advantage because we never noticed their smaller cups had similar design previously so no support needed on large ones now since top part wasn't always there initially until update made those versions work better than original single piece.
