240sx Ash Tray cupholder by Column01

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

After a few design iterations (and printing other people's designs to find out they interfere with the handbrake bolt), I designed my own cupholder to fit in the ashtray of a Nissan 240sx. This was designed using my brother's 93' S13 hatch, it should fit other models of 240 relatively close in year.
Important notes
You may not sell this cupholder. You can however print it for a good buddy and let him buy you a beer (or pay you for your time and material). Please do not sell it commercially as this design took me approximately 48hrs of printing and designing to iteratively land on the current shape.
The shape of the ashtray has a very weird compound width and height to it. It's not a uniform shape and subtle changes to the model had a significant impact on looks. As such, the design posted here is still not going to fit perfectly like the factory ashtray. I made some last-minute tweaks, so I have not yet printed the latest version of this model. I printed an earlier version and there were some modifications I had to make:
Made the lip at the back larger
Adjusted the corner radius in certain places
Tweak the width and height to fit more snugly
Widened stick out on the bottom to fit more snug
Please let me know of any issues you have installing it, and I can make changes to it and fix those issues for others. Be prepared to tweak! You may need to reduce dimensions in certain areas to fit better in your car. Please share the changes you made so I can improve the design.
I have included an STP file for easier modification, however, if you do modify it the license I've chosen still applies (no commercial sale of the cupholder!). By downloading the files, you agree to the license and its terms.
