cup holder

[thedudeabides86]

Hey guys,

I picked up one of these from LS Fabrication in Canada. It bolts right the the base of where the hold down screws are on our AC/Defrost units mount. It may vibrate a tad, but it's never let me or my drinks down.

I routed my ac hose over it. I have a 69 trk and ash tray

I also wanna add the bracket is only a 1/2" longer than the Toyota cup holder is.

I was astonished to find they're still making these things.
They ARE period correct, though ;-)

So the piece that you inserted the cup holder into is 3d printed? Cool

Yes it is. My son made it and said if anyone is interested in one he can make them.

Could you post the measurements if that's not too much trouble. I would like to see if it will fitina 67 ashtray bracket

Would he be willing to share the STL?

STL?? I'm not sure what that is so I cant say.

sorry, STL is the CAD file the printer reads to make the part

The 3D printed slider is awesome. Have been working on my cup holder as well. I do not have one of those 3D printer gizmos or the knowledge to use it. I am doing it with basic materials available. Ash tray is modded and cup holder slides in and out. The tray length is a bit of an issue with the tray slider. Have a solution, just no time yet to implement the change. Hope to provide pics of another option soon.

Hate me if you want but I'm not gunna ask him to give it away free as I asked him to make this for me with the possiblity he could sell one or two. The one I am installing today the one I post the final pics of is the 5th version. Started with a smaller one and ended up with the size it is as thats what worked best with this particular cup holder. Each bracket he made took 16hrs to print. He sat at home at his desk with calipers and measured figure and created a 3d model from scratch then proceeded to print them out. the two pieces that attach to the cup holder itself so the face plate adapts was his own idea and design. He doesnt care if any sell he did this to help me. He took in to account that others had said they did not want to ruin thier original ash tray and designed this one to fit without ruinin it. Thats a lot of trail error and personal time. Please dont take me wrong I am just explaining after what he went thru to make this why I dont wanna now ask him to hand the program out. Then someone else will make them to sell.

I apoloize Richard;9327256 I clocked on the wrong post when I did my reply. Rust_Never_Sleeps had asked if he would share the cad file not you. Again I apologize. I tried to delete the post but cant see how. I did remove your quote from the post

No worries. I deleted my message as it quoted you and does not add anything useful. You have to click the delete in the lower section to eliminate the post. I will delete this if you would like. I would buy one of the 3d printed cases if price is reasonable. It is shorter than the solution I have, which I will still finish. Think you will need a premium membership to list it though.

I dont see where to delete the post I even clicked edit and looked. Maybe cause I am not a paying member yet I dont have the option.
