Description
Now this isn't perfect, I know. But I am still working on a final release which will include a storage compartment, and even other modules for your center console.
The cup holder is fixed in the center console due to pressure fit. No screws needed. The tabs of the lower cup holder will hold everything very nice and secure.
The top cup holder is slightly larger than the bottom one, this one is designed for the big cans of Monster or McDonalds drinks. If you dont need it, or you have a passenger, print the included adapter and put it in there.
Cups/cans tested: Red Bull 250ml, Red Bull 355ml, McDonalds medium/large, 33cL cola can.
You can print without support, but you will get some nasty lines at the bottom of the cups, since you have to print this up-side-down.
Again; its still a WIP, model will most likely not be tweaked anymore, but will get upgraded.
Changelog:
April 24th:
- With the E36 armrest, an red bull touches the armrest, and tilt the can a slight bit. Moved the cup-holder a few mm closer to eachother.
April 14th:
- Uploaded a V2 of the cupholder. V1 was hard for some printers for the top side to be printed well.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $42.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $43.50 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $50.00 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $48.00 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $60.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $60.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $69.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
