944 Cupholder and Speaker Spacer

[TerrorBytes]

Model has been completely redesigned to use less supports and material

Just wanted to share my latest creation with everyone The 3d printed cupholder options I've seen have all tried to use the ashtray space as a cupholder which I tried and wasn't pleased with how secure they were and also some made shifting awkward so I I decided to make my own solution.

This solves the problem of lack of cupholders and also acts a front door speaker spacer to allow the use of a wider range of aftermarket speakers. This design is also completely reversible utilizing the stock speaker screw holes to secure it in place and requires no drilling of new holes.

To install: I recommend ABS, ASA as PLA and PETG will soften and melt in a hot car, you MIGHT be able to get by using PETG if your car is never parked out in the sun very long and is garaged. As for the cover spacers I recommend printing those in TPU-95A but whatever you decide to print the main part with will work as well. This includes parts for both the driver and passenger sides. I recommend printing standing up as printing it laying flat could cause some cosmetic imperfections from having to use supports on the cupholder section. Longer screws may be needed to fit. If any questions just ask.

Credit to MijnZeezicht on thingiverse who was the one who designed the speaker spacer, I modified it by adding the cupholder portion which I designed.

**Updated 07/06/2024**

I have updated my cupholder design to be much easier to print and use far less supports and less material. The new design will require 2 M8 x 12mm Countersunk screws to attach the cupholder to the speaker spacer piece. I got mine on amazon for about $8. Print both the Passengers side and Drivers side, then print 2 of the cupholder files and screw them together. I have found if you print at 0.2 resolution you will need to chase the threads with a tap to for the screws to grab properly, alternatively you can print at 0.1 resolution and you shouldn't need the tap but printing will take significantly longer.

it’s sweet

These look great! I was looking for a reason to buy a 3D printer for a while now. This seems like the best reason to pull the trigger.

I was looking at a Bamboo printer at micro center recently. Any suggestions on a brand/model.

Also, if you print the cup holders at .2 resolution will the you see the lines?
