Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.
A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.
Slice the selected model with your final material, orientation, walls, and supports.
Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

3DPrintedCarPartDescription
If you own a late 90 to mid '00 beetle like my girlfriend does, you know that the cup holders are a PITA to use because the most they hold is a 12oz coffee cup. This is my first custom design that I've printed so It's got a ways to go before I'll call it "finished" but the concept is here. Took 14 hours to print with supports @ 30% infill on my Da Vinci 1.0a on "slow". Recommend printing this upside down. Future updates(if I get around to it) will include a smaller frame that stays strong, one with insert's for various cup sizes, and potentially a dual cup holder mount. But I'm also posting the STEP file and adding a SS of the rough dimensions I used in case anyone wants to remix it:) I exported the STL file in imperial units (inch), if this causes major issues I can reupload in mm.
