3D Printed cupholder tabs

I got tired of cups and cans flopping around, so I designed these, easy to install and these work great!

Neat

 

They look nice. Do they pivot where they enter the plastic or is the material flexible?
For those that don't have a 3D printer, you can buy new ones that are improved over the original.
QTY four of 66995-AD011 (the short tabs) $1.58 each
QTY one of 66995-AD021 (the longer tab that is shared between the two cup holders) $1.58 each

Here are the old (left) compared to the new (right). New are less "foamy" and much more durable.

 

Don't drink and drive friend.

 

It is a flexible material, you can adjust the stiffness by either printing it thinner or thicker but this seems perfect to hold a bottle or can firmly but allowing ease of use. I have no idea how well the oem tabs worked since both my Tacos had crumbling tabs.

 

its not open is it?

 

The 'drink/drive' comment was off topic but the answer is drink responsibly, so yes in the back woods an open beer can be found right there.

 

That's water not beer

 

Lol yeah!

 

Be sure to check back in with us in a few weeks after the Florida sun has deteriorated them and they have broken into pieces

 

Thank you! I was about to design my own and share them here. Are you printing them with TPU?

 

Once you figure a way to print me a new center console w/ round cup holders instead of the dumb, midget, SQUARE useless ones that came w/ my truck, please get in touch with me.

Yes, if you follow the link to Thingaverse I have the brand TPU I used. Also, there were two that didn't print perfect so I pinned them on the fence in the sun/weather. So far the TPU is still perfect. The center console also does not get direct sun constantly so they should last a long time.
