Description
Tired of factory cup holders that can’t handle a real mug with a handle, a big tumbler, or your favorite oversized water bottle? This clean, two-piece adapter fixes that instantly and looks good doing it.
A sturdy lower base threads securely into your vehicle’s existing cup holder. The upper sleeve then screws onto the base, instantly transforming it into a tall, wide, rock-solid holder with a full-height side slot so mug handles pass through with ease while the rest of the cup or bottle stays perfectly supported.
Every dimension is driven by variables in the public OnShape document, so customizing it for any vehicle is effortless. Change the base diameter, height, or upper sleeve width in seconds and export fresh STLs. The community has already adapted it to countless cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans with perfect results.
