3D model description

This is a cupholder for BMW 3-series e46. It will fit sedan, coupe, wagon, cabrio, compact models, as they all use the same center console. I've made and printed it half-year ago and used it personally for this time period. The only issue I've encountered is that thin energy drink cans like RedBull will tumble around because the holes are designed for coffee, soda drink cups, however these cans, while they'll tumble, they won't fall out or tip over, so still safer than no cupholder.

3D printing settings

I've printed it using PLA and 20% infill, and I'm using this cupholder for half-year, however if you live in a hotter climate, like Australia, Mexico, Africa, Middle East etc. etc., the PLA WILL DEFINITELY MELT inside hot interior, so you would be better of with ABS maybe.
