Description
This is a very simple cup I made to teach myself modeling with OnShape and to help my brother out. He owns a KIA EV3 and he wanted to use the front cup holders to store some coins and other small items. As the holders are not fully closed, that did really not work well.
This cup fits precisely in the holder and is designed to sit just below the top of the holder for maximum storage space.
It includes the KIA logo in the bottom just to be fancy!

Printing:
Most important setting is to stagger the seams as this is a cylindrical object.
Read all about it here: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/seam-position_151069
Other settings are up to your own preference. A 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer work fine.
Filament:
I do not recommend the use of PLA as that is temperature sensitive and a car can get quite hot in the sun.
How ever, full disclosure, the one my brother has now is a PLA version and it is holding up till now. I'll print in another material when it fails :P
