Cup Holder – 1990-2000 Bmw 3 Series E36
3D-printed replacement cup holder made for the 1990-2000 Bmw 3 Series E36: a simple way to replace a cracked, lost or hard-to-find original part.
About this part
There has never been a working cup holder for the E36(or any cars). Even op thingiverse I am never pleased with the results. So what I did? Model my own, with my own messurements and diverse amount of cups/cans to fit.
Now this isn't perfect, I know. But I am still working on a final release which will include a storage compartment, and even other modules for your center console.
The cup holder is fixed in the center console due to pressure fit. No screws needed. The tabs of the lower cup holder will hold everything very nice and secure.
The top cup holder is slightly larger than the bottom one, this one is designed for the big cans of Monster or McDonalds drinks. If you dont need it, or you have a passenger, print the included adapter and put it in there.
Cups/cans tested: Red Bull 250ml, Red Bull 355ml, McDonalds medium/large, 33cL cola can.
You can print without support, but you will get some nasty lines at the bottom of the cups, since you have to print this up-side-down.
Again; its still a WIP, model will most likely not be tweaked anymore, but will get upgraded.
Changelog:
April 24th:
- With the E36 armrest, an red bull touches the armrest, and tilt the can a slight bit. Moved the cup-holder a few mm closer to eachother.
April 14th:
- Uploaded a V2 of the cupholder. V1 was hard for some printers for the top side to be printed well.
