Cup Holder Liner
2017 Tesla Model 3
Description
This is a cupholder liner for the Tesla Model 3. If printed in a semi-flexible material, like TPU or Ninjaflex, the side blades will bend to firmly hold the inserted item. (If printed in a non-flexible material, the side blades will break or prevent you from using the thing. Or, they'll securely hold a very weirdly shaped other thing.) Also, the shape of this may be useful to other modelers, since (after a ludicrous number of attempts) it is a very precise fit for the interior of the cupholder area. If folks are interested and let me know, I'll throw the core dimensions together on a drawing, or in a STEP, or some such. If you are printing this for yourself, great. If you are considering having this commercially printed, it may be more cost-effective to just order this very [similar commercial product](https://smile.amazon.com/EVANNEX-Holder-Insert-Tesla-Model/dp/B07TYP8GKV/). I may tweak this to add anti-suction dimples in the bottom, or to adjust the fin geometry, but I want to live with it for a few days before tweaking. I appreciate feedback from users/makers. And finally, if you've read this far, you may be interested in [my other Tesla (or non-Tesla) designs](https://www.thingiverse.com/lairdb/designs).
Print Instructions
