About this 3D model

Convenient Desk/Table Mounted Cup Holder Designed by those who cannot live without being in arms reach of a beverage while working, this cup holder aims to provide an affordable, reliable, and highly compatible alternative to standard commercial offerings. Print Profile Information: This model can support many different approaches to printing-- it's not very particular. However, there are a few recommendations to best ensure an enjoyable experience: The Screw and Clamp pieces should be printed with “strong” profiles. Generally, we achieved this by simply increasing infill to 100%. While a bit over-kill, this ensures the parts do not experience pre-mature failure. The screw , if printed vertically, is especially prone to failure due to layer line orientation. The clamp , depending on your print's tolerance, can also experience a strong radial stress when the Cup Holder is slotted in, which may cause stress fractures in the part if it is not strong enough. It is not recommended to print any support for the threaded areas in the model. Support in these areas can cause the threads to no longer operate. Support Interface material is recommended to ensure a frustration free part cleanup experience. Extra: If you find the cup holder does not have enough grip on the tabletop you are using, you may find cutting a grippy material and applying it to the bottom of the clamp and top of the end cap helpful. Attached you will find the dimensions for these areas (in millimeters): Dimensions for Grip Materials
