Fabricating for a function was a very interesting task. I first started off by taking measurements of the cup holder in my car. The diameter was 3.15 inches and 2.25 inches deep. This size works great for any standard size cup but it doesn’t work great for my 30 oz regular yeti cup so I needed to come up with a solution. I decided to make a cupholder extension and began this process by searching up current cup holder extensions for measurements. This is what I decided to use:
Top to Bottom – 6.31”
Top Part Dimension – 3.6” Width, 3.25” Height. (Top Part sits above the cup holder. Drink containers sit in the Top Part.)
Bottom Part Dimension – 2.5” Width, 2.5” Height. (The Bottom Part sits into the cup holder. )
Above is the link I used to get an idea of what I wanted to make. Below is what I created:
