Would you be interested in making an orange double cup holder? I would like for it to match my orange accents in my XLT package. Is this something you could do? Thanks

a cup holder was actually the next design that my cousin and I wanted to work on. he's so quick with that 3d printer software that he literally took the measurements for this trash can and designed it with what I had in mind in less than an hour. it's a very useful program. once we get a cupholder designed and printed, I will ask him about making more to sell and color matching as well. stay tuned.

My cousin and I teamed up to design and create this trash can for my Maverick. It turned out really well! The only thing we both agreed we would change on the next one is to use a matte finish so that the layers do not show as much. Also, maybe make it less thick because it took quite a while to print! lol

That is so cool.

I am going to purchase 3D Printer soon. Can you ask your cousin and find out the make and model of the 3D Printer he used to make this. Also what design software he used will be appreciated.

You also mentioned it took some time to build. Do you know how long that was?

I know it was about an 18hr print. the design and measurements took an hour total. i’ll ask him the model of his printer

The printer is a Sovol SV01 and the software is Fusion 360

That is exactly what I want to do with that space! Can you please share your plans so I can get one printed from the local printer?

Thanks. I am ordering the Sovol SV01 for $240 $217.55.
eBay # 154612217268

About the Fusion 360 software. The paid version is very expensive at $495 $446 annually. There is a free hobbyist version available. Is your cousin using the free or paid version?

https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal

man you’re committed! he has the paid version. but i’m sure he’d print one out for you if you don’t want to go so far as to buy a printer and learn the ins and outs of 3D printing. good luck buddy! 👍

let me see what he can do. he needed to do some tweaking first to make it a little less hefty so hopefully he has it saved back.

I will get back to you with a file when he sends it 👍

I'm paying $26,000 for my Maverick so $235 for a 3D Printer is a bargain and you can never have enough cool toys. I'm also retired so I do have time and plan to make other items for the Maverick FITS slots.

I would also like the file if he is willing to share.

Would compressing the file with 7-ZIP help reduce the file size:

If you want a free resource that's fairly versatile for designing various things you can try Tinkercad. It's not the most powerful and has some quirks to learn, but it's served me pretty well.

Great work.
What is the required build volume for this print?

Nice but a lot of work.

I 'm lazy and will probably walk around the dollar store until I find something that fits.
I think the more practical thing would be to print the FITS tab as a bracket that could be screwed to an off the shelf trash can or .......................
The OP's work is neat but 19 hours of work + material is a ton of work for the result.
