Default Front Armrest Cup Holder Insert

I do not care for the front armrest cup holder because any tall container falls out around turns. But my prayers have been answered.....sort of




The problem is I cant purchase this already made. It appears to be available only as 3d printer file. I do not have a 3d printer and I do not want to go through the hassle of getting it made for just one.

Anybody want to make some and sell to the forum for a reasonable profit?

Just upload the file to Shapeways. They'll print it and ship it to you. Or just use the big mason jar lid rings like I do. They fit snugly into the holders and keep drinks from falling over. I put them in my center console when I'm not using them.

If you're willing to give up a wood panel, you can go this route:

This is a crazy idea, but check with your public library. My local public library has a 3D printer; they charge buy how much filament (?) your project requires. It might not be cost effective, but it's worth a look. You just upload your file and print.

I replaced my broken one years ago, with OE, and it simply broke yet again. Since the prices have soared, I got another OE from Japan, but have yet to install it. I agree it's not great, plus easily broken...

Whoa!!! @Johnhav430 !! I thought you abandoned us and here you are on 3 different threads! Good to see you, sir. How are you? Still have your LS430? I don't think I've seen your name for 2 years.

haha yes still have the LS430, and how are you?! Have had it 9.5 years now, and admittedly stuff has started to break...(pass mirror no longer can move laterally, left it, front y pipe, radiator, then the hard downshift, all 2025....seem to have a pulley squeal although 2 were replaced in 2020 at the start of the pandemic...XM antenna went bad and replaced that so now flashing "antenna" and no metadata. That's a long story--cancelled XM in 2020, but it still works

Again I have a replacement cupholder only it's black, I think I can swap out the front strip...but I know it will break again eventually so have left it alone.
