I'm pretty happy with this purchase. No affiliation with the seller, just a happy customer. They even came with screws. :)

I got the double front ones.
I'll post some more pics later.
One "bad thing" about the fronts is that I cannot fit two pens in the respective pen holders. :) The car is simply not large enough to place the pens anywhere else. :))
 
I played a bit with the optimal position for the front holders. Too far back and they can partially cover the PWR and 2ND buttons (not too badly, they can still be activated). Too far forward and there's no more room to hold my second pen. 2015-01-13 17.09.23.webp 2015-01-13 17.09.31.webp 2015-01-13 17.09.42.webp 2015-01-13 17.09.51.webp 2015-01-13 17.10.08.webp
 
Checking for knee clearance and using it as a holder for my backup camera screen.
I guess this thread turned into a review of this product. Really happy with it.

I just got my double front but haven't put them in yet. They look pretty sturdy and can't wait to finally have some cup holders!
 
What can you fit in the middle hole for the rear cup holders? A Hi-Liter or a large Sharpie apparently.

What's that a soap dish on the bottom?
 
Just an optic illusion I guess.
I got a weathertech floor mat. It contours around the center console.
 
Do they come in grey? Those look great!

Edit: They do!

Ordered the rears in grey, always seem to be short of cupholders in this truck.
 
Wow. Thanks for the review. You guys kicked my butt today. I wasn't aware of this thread until I got a panic text from my wife freaking out about the massive wave of orders that came in today. She couldn't box orders up quick enough. I thought I had quite a nice stock pile of inventory. You guys plowed through that in like two hours. The items that are now showing out of stock will be restocked some time this weekend. I am switching all printers over to restocking the cup holders. I will do my best to get this huge wave of orders out in the next 2 days.
 
Those look like they are 3d printed. I might have to print myself a set:clap:

I might start selling the .stl file on my website for folks that already have 3D printers. Probably in the $3-$5 range. The issue that folks will run into is experience. The rear cup holder is a 2 part print (not including the inserts) that totals 30+ hours. It takes quite a bit of experience to be able to print a part that long without having any warping or cracking. Took me 100's of prints and many spools of filament before I figured out the right formula. There is also the issue of the printer. I had to make huge upgrades to all of my printers to be able to continually run 30+ hour prints. Then there is the issue with support removal. If done wrong the cup holder can get damage. If you get the supports off without damage you run into the next hurdle which is the acetone bath. If done wrong you have a melted cup holder. If done right it gives the print a nice smooth glossy injected molded look. I am okay with passing the file on to folks but I want to make sure they understand they may have to go through a few prints before they get the machine and their skills dialed in. What I should do is make a youtube video of the entire process from setting up the print in slic3r, to dialing in the machine, to monitoring the long print, to platform removal, to support removal, to sanding, to acetone, to finally paint. That should ensure folks are able to create a quality print with greatly reduced issues.
