Parametric Car Cupholder

Take your favorite mug or bottle always with you with this parametric car cupholder? This parametric cupholder expander is designed to solve exactly that problem where your mug doesn't fit. It allows you to securely hold larger cups, bottles, or mugs—especially those with handles—while maintaining a snug fit in your car’s original cupholder.

• 🔧 Key Features

• Parametric design – Easily customize dimensions to match your specific car and cup size
• Tapered base – Ensures a secure fit in most standard car cupholders
• Handle cutout (optional) – Perfect for mugs with handles
• Thick, durable walls – Designed for stability during driving

  📏 Customization

• All important dimensions can be adjusted in OpenSCAD:
• Base diameter (top & bottom)
• Base height (depth inside your car’s holder)
• Cup diameter

• Handle cutout size

• This makes it easy to adapt the model to different cars and drinkware.

  🧱 Print Settings (Recommended)

• 💡 Notes

• For best fit, measure your car’s cupholder before printing
• Adding a small tolerance (±0.5 mm) is recommended
• PETG or higher-temp materials are preferred for hot environments
