Description

This parametric model can be adapted to fit any cupholder/cup combination while remaining support free. I have provided a selection of popular sizes as STL files and print profiles. If a custom size is needed you can either comment the cupholder and cup dimensions and I will upload the resulting model, or you can input your dimensions directly to the Fusion 360 file parameters by following the guide below.

 

The bottom of the adapter is left hollow, so that it can double as a convenient car-trashcan if desired.

 

I strongly recommend ABS or ASA if this will be left in the car long-term.

 

Medium cupholder size based on 2012 Toyota Camry, as it is possibly the most average car.

  • Ensure that the “Send to 3d Print Utility” button at the bottom of the 3d print menu is unchecked, then click “ok” at the bottom of the menu

I need help with the parametric editing. I don't want to edit the cupholder depth or size, that is perfect. I do need to adjust the top part though as it is too small to fit my father in law's cup. His cup is 112 mm wide and this isn't wide enough. Is it possible to adjust the top section as well?

@jberns, yes that can be adjusted with the "MugOD" parameter within fusion 360

Downloaded Fusion 360 and customized to fit a Gen 5 Subaru Outback and a large nalgene--worked perfectly thanks to the clear instructions on how to customize the parametric expressions! Printed in PETG and seems to be lasting just fine in the car parked outside!

I'm having a hardtime with Fusion today. I have a cup thats huge! 140mm diameter! my cup holder has knotches so its kind of a hassle to measure. id say its a 70mm cup holder.

@jo.chillson13 I'd recommended measuring the cupholder ID at the very top, and then estimating the taper angle of the notches. Try to err on having the taper angle too high rather than too low. Best of luck!

It may be because of the new website, but I don't see the .f3d Fusion file.
