Cup Holder Extension
2017 Ford Escape
Description
We wanted a solution to hold larger water bottles in our 2017 Ford Escape that did not fit well in the center console and were easier to access than down in the door panel. I created a cupholder that can hold the larger water bottle due to the extension above the normal center console height, but maintained a lower section that could also still serve to hold small water bottles or cans. Printed in PETG and has lasted 4 months through the summer heat so far in a car with a black interior. Works great! I carefully designed this with transition radii that should allow printing without supports on most printers (worked well on our Ender 5). However, please review the design and use your best judgement.
Print Instructions
Standard FDM printing settings: - Layer height: 0.2mm - Infill: 70% - Supports: As needed
