Print plan

Exact totals not supplied

Print setup plan

Useful setup guidance without pretending STL byte size can predict filament, cost, or print time.

Material plan

TPU

Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.

Starting setup

40% infill

A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.

Final totals

Confirm in slicer

Choose the needed variant, then slice it for grams, cost, and print time.

Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

Description

This is a pad that sits on the TEC folding cup holder for the BMW E39 5 series. I found that my preferred travel mug was slightly too large of a diameter to sit completely down in the cup holder. Print this in TPU and it will create a nice, non-vibration surface. You can also print with zero bottom layers to expose the infill, which could also create a nice "catch" for any errant drips.
