I made these cupholders for another project that a friend of mine is working on.

Measurements

The first thing that you need to do is get the measurements for the cup holder.

-Cicumference of the base

-Thickness of the walls

-Cicumference of the top ring

-Angle of the sides (if you choose to add them).

Method

Can be made by hand. I chose to use my 3-d printer.

Choose Material

You can choose any material you want. I chose to use PLA with my 3-d printer. You can also choose to Use ABS, wood, and any type of metal if you have the proper equipment.
