Modular Cactus Beach Cup Holder for various can sizes

Where there's sand, there's a cactus

• The cup holder's design is an abstract representation of a Saguaro cactus, blending into the beach environment with an unexpected charm
• Modular and stackable design, allowing the cup holder to 'root and grow' like a cactus, extending side branches to form a cluster

Modular System Overview

• 

• Modules can be stacked vertically using a universal bayonet fitting; align, insert, and twist clockwise to secure
• Each bayonet fitting has a set of clips every 45°, allowing side branches to be installed at multiple angles
• The cactus-like features of each module follow a consistent modulus, ensuring visual uniformity and allowing for arbitrary combinations

Module Descriptions

1. Base Module

   • 

   • Four fixed height (depth) modules: 0, 1, 2, and 3, each adapted for different can types

   • Base Module Number	Applicable Can Type
     0	145mL Want Want Milk Can
     	200mL Mini Can
     	250mL Red Bull Can
     1	330mL Standard Can
     2	330mL Slim Can
     3	500mL Tall Can

   • To ensure convenience and modular play, please select the appropriate module for your can. A module that is too tall will hinder can removal, while one that is too short will prevent connection to other modules

   • 

2. Riser Module
   • Connects to the top of a base module, increasing its height number by 1
   • For scenarios with uncertain can types, bring a few lower-numbered base modules and several riser modules to assemble the desired height on-site
   • For example, the required Base Module 2 for a 330mL slim can can be assembled from Base Module 1 + 1 Riser Module, or Base Module 0 + 2 Riser Modules

   • 

3. Side Branch Module
   • The side branch module consists of a main stem with height (depth) number 1 and a side branch with depth number 0. The side branch can independently hold another can and can continue to stack upwards
   • Thanks to the bayonet fitting design, the direction of the side branch can be freely chosen every 45° around the main stem, and multiple side branch modules can also be installed vertically on the same main stem
   • Note: The load-bearing capacity of side branches has not been limit-tested. It is recommended to use them only for a single can or other light, small objects, avoiding stacking too many modules or having multiple sub-branches extending from a side branch
4. Top Cap Module
   • A cactus-shaped cap for the top, preventing sand, dust, and insects from contacting the can opening. Connects to the top of other modules via a bayonet fitting
5. Base Foundation Module
   • Spiral-shaped structure that can be screwed into sand to provide overall stability, connecting to the bottom of other modules via a bayonet fitting

Notes

• Necessary support structures have been optimized in orientation to reduce adhesion and facilitate removal. Tools can be used to remove stray threads for a better feel
• Bridging surfaces have no supports but are not intended for aesthetic display. Users with higher surface requirements can apply verified bridging settings themselves
• The connection effect of the bayonet fitting may be affected by filament condition and printing parameters. If it's too loose or too tight, feedback can be given to the author for optimization assistance
