Chevy Sprint Jumbo Cup Holder
Description
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pY8qjRShq8 I really like my old Chevy Sprint but one thing it is missing is a cup holder of any sort. I use this old car as a daily commuter and it's hard to row the gears and hold a tumbler of coffee upright at the same time! I noticed the door pockets had a grid of 4mm holes and decided to play off of those so that I would not need to do anything permanent to install one of these on each side. The cup holder uses four 4mm bolts through existing decorative holes in the door pocket, no drilling required. As an experiment I decided to use 4mm rivet nuts instead of traditional nuts for installation. They are working well for me, inserted with needle-nose pliers and pulled in with a bolt and a washer. The slot sort of doubles as a phone holder, kinda. I thought about designing a drop-in piece for that slot that would take up space for smaller things like pop cans, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Although this was made for my particular use case these could hypothetically be considered universal in the sense that they should be able to be bolted to any flat surface. I made them big enough to hold my largest tumbler, but they are very large. I think the model could be shaved down a lot. Also note that I only printed one upside-down as shown in the video and would not recommend it. Printing upright is fine. I thought I would get a better top-finish if I printed upside down but it was not worth it. A lot could be improved but I figured I'd throw it out there just in-case someone could use it as-is.
