Default Center console cup holder is...worthless. 3D printer to the rescue

The rearward foam things are gone, not that they did anything. Cups, water bottles fall over at any turn...
3D printed double cup holder insert.


The wife added her sparkles.


Holds water bottle well.


Even closes like stock.

Printed great! I forgot to post the update until the carriesn replied and I got the notification. I didn't bling it up (wife aint blingy) but it holds great. The only change I might make it to make the holes just a little bit wider for those DP bottles.
Excellent item!
