I went ahead and made a small batch. I actually made 8 but 2 went to a friend and a cousin. I have 6 left. If these sell quickly then I will make another batch. If they take forever to sell then this will be it for production. I listed them on ebay, etsy, and on our website. We can offer a bit better pricing on our website because we don't charge ourselves seller fees BUT we don't have a ton of payment options available on our website. Here are the links.

ORDERED!!

Mine just arrived. While not inexpensive, it perfectly fits the needs and is well designed. For you cheap wads, what are the less expensive options? None, so you have two options let your rear passengers deal with the lousy cup holders in the door or suck it up buttercup and in 2 weeks you will forget what you paid and the rear passngers will be very happy and you will not be cleaning up spilled Tequila Sunrises out of the carpeting. And quite frankly, @Bhicks should be paid for his time and effort, when everything is said and done, I am sure he will be lining his pockets with tens of dollars and now will be able to afford that full tank of gas he has always wanted.

Question, what are the three holes for other than to collect fluids and get sticky? I would have preferred a slot or some place to put a phone. Otherwise a 9/10 in execution. Thank you very much.

I know this thread is a bit old but I figured my thoughts went along with this thread. No reason to start a new thread. My wife has a 2018 Yukon XL. We have 4 kids and she HATES the middle row cup holder option for our youngest two. She came to me and told me to fix the issue. I wanted a place to put large bottles like our Hyrdroflasks and Yeti 36oz bottles and she wanted a place for kid cups. I came up with this. It has removable inserts so it can accept the regular sized cups my kids use AND accept the large bottles I use. I am a mechanical Engineering teacher and specialize in CAD design so I figured I would apply my skills to something functional. So far after a few weeks my wife is VERY happy and we can now finally carry our large water bottles on longer trips. My wife can easily access the bottles from her front passenger seat. My kids have stepped on it with all their weight a few times (not happy about that) BUT it held up. Right now it just hooks on with no adhesive or hardware but I included 4 screw holes and a place to install 3M adhesive if I decide to later make it more permanent. I also own a 3D printing company so it was easy to get it printed out.
Would you be willing to share the .stl file?

I wasn't sure if I wanted to make these and sell them. They are a bit of a PITA to make. Its 40 hours of print time plus support removal, hand sanding, chemical smoothing, then the textured coating on top. If anyone wants one then let me know. If there is good interest then I will go ahead and make a batch. Right now my out of pocket to get one made is around $50-$60. With the 2/3rds of a spool going into it, the labor in support removal, sanding, smoothing, epoxy coating, shipping, packaging, and the cost to actually run the 3D printer, it's not the most cost effective thing I have designed. I didn't worry about cost effectiveness on this one. I only cared about functionality for my wife, kids, and myself. After taxes and online seller fees I would have to be at $80 to just make a $5-$10 profit. Not really sure it's worth that much but I can't take a loss or even break even or it's not worth the hassle. Figured I should at least get that cost out there up front so folks can make an educated decision about this being something they want or not. If not, no worries. I'm just happy I have something that meets my needs. If the moderator wants me to become a vendor or something then let me know. If there seems to be interest in stuff like this from the GMC community then I can pay the vendor subscription and maybe try to come up with a few more functional things. If there is no interest then I will just continue to enjoy this forum and reading the threads you guys post.
I want it

We used to sell our product .stl files a while back and it turned into a nightmare. Folks kept mass producing our parts and became our competitors with our own product. One guy made a copy cat website that looked exactly like our site and tried to pretend he was us. His part quality and customer service were horrific. Folks started reaching out to us with complaints and demanding their order and we had no record of any order from them. It badly tarnished our brand name and we had nothing to do with it. Eventually we figured it out and got a lawyer to deal with it. My lawyer made it VERY clear to stop selling my files. Too many legal issues.

I wanted to revisit this thread to give an update. We are now getting into our busy season and I had to stop production on the middle row cup holders. We needed the machines printing other items. Before we shut it down for a couple months during the holiday season; we cranked out one large last batch. I think we have around 35 printed and ready to ship. Hopefully that will last the holiday season. We will see. We are currently offering them on our website, Etsy, ebay, and amazon. If you google "2015-2020 GMC Chevy middle row cup holder" you should see the etsy, ebay, amazon, and our website links all on the first search page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.
