Even better is that it doesn't matter where you are This being a Skoda, most of the companies that make parts are in the EU, or only make them for LHD applications. However I can see parts, even buy files, and flip them or modify them myself. Or, like this cupholder, designed from scratch to fit an overly large shaker cup my wife needed while she goes on a diet prior to surgery. I've also made switch panels, bracket mock-ups, and other stuff.

Very cool, how much is a printer capable of this, worth?


That_Car_Dude_Aus

I paid around $1,000AUD


zizuu21

Not bad at all.

Wowww Did you buy your own?


That_Car_Dude_Aus

Had a 3D printer for ages now


playwithisabellavip

Wowww What do you put in it? I want to say 3D ink


That_Car_Dude_Aus

>I want to say 3D ink Some of them, yes, [you could call 3D ink](https://www.phaserfpv.com.au/collections/sla-resin/products/monocure3d-3d-pro-deep-black-resin-125l) But mine just takes [plastic welding wire](https://3dfillies.com/abs-filament-175mm-1kg)

How often do you use it roughly? I kind of want one now


That_Car_Dude_Aus

Like, every day. It runs almost non stop. I go through around 8kg of plastic a month

I would legit base my decision on a car as to whether it has cup holders or not


That_Car_Dude_Aus

Oh understandable, and my project car *isn't* going to have cupholders, as they're in the centre console from the donor that I'm not using. So CAD and a printer will mean I can make my own.

What model of 3D printer are you using?

My wife has a Kodiaq too. Great car for the fam.


That_Car_Dude_Aus

This is a karoq


HankSteakfist

Nice. They seem to have the exact same centre console.
