Description
Some cars come with removable cup holders. While this is great for cleaning, it is not so great if one is lost. This is a replacement for such a holder. The STLs are modeled for a 2005 Ford Focus. Parametric values in the OpenSCAD file can be adjusted for other vehicles with a similar design.
Note: The original required a bit of sanding to fit, so the uploaded version has been reduced by several mm.

Instructions
For Ford Focus 2005:
1. Print CupHolder-Print-A.stl
2. Print CupHolder-Print-B.stl
3. Glue parts together, sand, paint.
This version should print on a standard Makerbot platform
For Custom Versions:
1. Open the SCAD file, adjust the parameters under "Main Cup Parameters", "Upper slope parameters" and "Bulge Parameters"
2. Set the print variable to "model" to view the assembled version. This version can also be printed, if your print area can accommodate.
3. Set the print variable to "print", the set partnum to "a" or "b" to print either half of the model. This version will fit a standard Makerbot/TOM.

This has actually been on my "to design" list for a long time now. Thanks for putting this together!
