It looks like mine might be missing a bunch of parts: I don't have all the edge pieces. This might be why my cups are always at an extreme angle.
Here's mine, all folded up ready to be pushed back into the dash. I'm guessing I'm missing some springs as well.
My front edge doesn't spring back into place, as I assume it should. It is a two handed job to fold it back into the dash. The front edge has fallen off several times, but snaps back on.
Let me know when you start selling parts...I'm going to need a bunch of them.
can i paypal you for the .stl file of the faceplate gear? I have a markforged Onyx already so no need to ship a physical part...don't worry I won't share the file or start printing my own for anyone else

Hey TexSquirrel - I hate to break it to you, but I think that cup holder is beyond the help that I can provide. It looks like you're missing 3 springs (there's a chance one of those may be sandwiched in the assembly still, 2 metal pins, and 3 plastic pieces. I have working models of the gear that fixes the front faceplate moving back into plate, and 1 of the 3 plastic pieces you need - but I have no idea where you would find the springs and pins. I'd recommend looking for a replacement on ebay, or maybe one you can steal some parts from.
The springs may be inside.
It rattles quite a lot.
I may bite the bullet and get another someday.
I just hate how expensive they are...but knowing that it might hold my drinks level helps.
I might be able to sell my old one on eBay even with it missing parts.
Tex, have you looked at the Ultimate Cup Holders. If you're planning on coffee, I suggest you get a Travel Mug. If you carry any kind of speed through turns, the coffee is going to shoot out of the hole.
Finished up my tutorial for opening this thing up and getting it all back together. It definitely takes some patience, but isn't too terrible if you take your time.
+1, would totally buy one of those gears. Mine just recently started requiring me to manually move the face plate when closing it. It's annoying, but not so annoying that I'm ready to spend $300.
Well I'm approach the 1 month mark and the parts have held up flawlessly. I'm making a point to open close the cup holder multiple times each time I drive the car - jam travel mugs + cans into it, etc. Everything is working great despite some really hot 90+ degree weather here in Cincinnati.
So that being said, I'm open to making more and selling them. PM me for details and let me know which parts you need.

I might need a parts kit to replace the cracked Half moon from front holder old one, but I need to see if I still have the spring assembly from original part. I think I put it in Arm Rest on driver side.
You going to Oxford this Saturday?
Cool, just let me know. As far as Oxford goes, what's happening there? I don't think I can make it Sunday but if its a regular meetup I may be able to at a later date.
Cheers
Charlie

Great work on the cup holder blades. Have you moved onto other parts that make up the assembly? I am in need of the faceplate piece that slides off. No need for the little cup graphic, in my opinion. Mine is cracked in two places.
thanks

Hey mdsarch
At the moment, I only have these 3 parts modeled: faceplate actuating gear, outside ring for front cup holder, outside ring for rear cup holder. Pictures below of all 3. This is the first kit I'm sending out for someone else. I'm open to modeling and printing the faceplate (I could probably add the little cup holder graphic but you'd have to paint it white), but at the moment I don't have access to the part (its installed in my car and I'm not eager to take it all out). Where is yours broken - across the front, or on the back where the teeth are?
