Description

Modular Boat Cup Holder – TPU Clip System for Ultimate Versatility 🍺

Tired of tipping cans and awkward cup holders on your boat? This modular can holder features a flexible TPU hook that clips firmly yet easily onto your boat's edge. No screws, no stress – just slide it on and enjoy your drink hands-free while you fish! 

 

Since the hook is printed in TPU, it offers high impact resistance and protects your boat from scratches at the same time!

Buy TPU 95A or check out this model that works with rigid materials.

🚤 What's special about it?

  • Flexible TPU hook custom-designed for aluminum jon boats – strong grip, fast to attach/remove (NO SCREWS).
  • Modular attachment system: the hook can be paired with a cup holder, sonar mount, or any custom attachment like hooks.
  • Comes with 3 hook types:
    • Angled
    • Straight
    • Extended
  • Sturdy design ideal for fishing, relaxing, or just staying hydrated on the water.

SPIRAL HOOK:
Works well with straight edges (I tested it with some random items like a door and some wooden boards of different thicknesses).
However, this variation is not as stiff as the rectangular one when used on typical rectangular boat edges.

 

RECTANGULAR HOOK:
Tested on my jon boat and works really well! It fits my dimensions perfectly, so it’s ideal for me.
It should also work on rectangular edges that are slightly smaller, if you want to try it out as-is.
Otherwise, feel free to contact me with your boat edge dimensions (see next section) for a custom fit.

📐 *Want it to fit your boat perfectly?

Send me your boat edge dimensions 📐:

I’ll customize the hook for optimal stiffness and fit!

(If Ed or Id aren't provided, I'll center the hook by default.)

In my case, I measured the following values:
W = 38mm

H = 25mm

Ed = 17.5mm

Id = 15mm

And it fits tight – super satisfying!

For round boat edges, I haven’t tested it yet, but the spiral hook is likely the best option. If needed, post your results and I’ll help you fine-tune it!

Hi, I'm writing to ask if you could lend any assistance to a similar project. We're having issues making a cup with clip. Sometimes it's a success and other times a failure at the clip. we've changed temperature, speed, cup orientation and not sure what we're doing wrong. We've changed the tree support structure in the attached photos, however, we're not sure what else we should try. Since you're making cups and clips, we thought to reach out and see if you had any similar experiences and what worked for you. We can print one just fine, sometimes up to 4 are successful and other times, it's a complete bust. the clip seems to come away from the tree support or it doesn't attach properly. Thank you in advance for any help.

Based on your info, the issue seems to be that the clip is spaced away from the cup. For several layers, these structures remain independent; since the clip is thin and sits on a support, it’s fragile and prone to detaching. To fix this, using a sturdier support (e.g., 'Strong' style) or setting the 'Top Z distance' to 0 to force better fusion between the support and the clip's base could help lock the print in place. The goal is to maximize bonding between the support and the clip. You could increase this surface area by redesigning the clip's tip and removing small fillets to prevent warping. Also, ensure the build plate is perfectly clean to prevent the support from peeling. Another option is to redesign the clip as an independent part to be press-fitted or glued onto the cup holder. This allows you to print the clip on its side, simplifying the print and significantly increasing durability—the option I’d recommend given the geometry.

Scaled the spiral hook and cupholder up slightly to fit a koozie. Testing durability as soon as winter lets go.
