    Like i said before it hasnt even been in a car yet, ill be testing it and seeing how it goes. If it needs to be raised it will be, i havent even seen it in person yet so i dont even know how deep it really is. Ill see if he can send me some pics with different sized drinks in it.

    But yep 3D printed for the prototypes but it will be injection molded (i think) for mass production.

    Two friends of mine (Dave and Dave) have recently started a new business that will be making some unique parts for many BMWs and soon some other brands. They do all their prototyping with a 3D printer and they recently just designed a cup holder that they will be having me test out!

    Their site: inhausbmw.com

    The two center holes are for a cigaret lighter and a USB port.
