Description

Need a BIG cup holder for your Thermo/Hydroflask or similar bottle?  The factory cup holders just aren't cutting it?  Well, here you go. Attaches to the MOLLE panel on the passenger side of the center console. Tested on my 4th generation Tacoma but I'm told the panel should be identical on the new 6th generation 4Runner as well. Inside diameter is a hefty 98mm (3.85"), fits most of the stainless and plastic bottles I have in my house.  I've got three versions available. The most recent iteration (version 7) comes in two versions: Short and Tall. The Tall version has a cup depth 25mm deeper than the Short version (110mm vs. 85mm). If you're using a taller bottle (such as a Thermoflask 1.2L/40oz) in the Short cup holder you might find the bottle touches the dash trim. Short version prints faster & uses less material. 

v1.5 was the first functional model, fits the opening in the MOLLE but it's not contoured to fit around the bag hook at the front.  As such your bottle is a little further from the dashboard and closer to the passenger seat. Same cup depth as the v7 Tall.

The later version 7 isn't necessarily better, just different. For taller bottles V1.5 is likely better as it's not as close to the dash trim and the fan control knob. V7 (either Tall or Short) is better if you want it a little further away from your passenger (and passenger seat). V7 Short is great if you have large diameter but relatively short bottles.

You can print it with the cup facing up or down, either way will need supports. Printing it cup facing up is considerably faster and uses less material (less supports and travel time) but the supports can leave a rough surface on the hidden underside where it touches the MOLLE panel. To keep scratches on the MOLLE to a minimum I hot-glued a simple strip of felt to the underside of the cup holder at the contact points so the rough surface can't directly touch the vehicle. Printing it cup facing down takes more time and filament but leaves a smoother surface at the contact points, as well as a uniform top surface from the build plate. I've done both. Personally I'd recommend cup facing up and using felt.

Since it'll live in a hot car ABS/ASA would be ideal but so far I've had success just using PETG. 4 walls, 5 top layers, 4 bottom layers, Adaptive Cubic infill at 15%.
