    Hey, when I drive my gf’s 2012 Prius, my arm always wants to go into the cup holder that’s located just forward of the center armrest. I was wondering if I could get or make a little plug that would go into this cup holder and make it more like an extension of the armrest. My kid volunteered to make me one on his schools 3D printer but idk what measurements to use.

    Honestly this is more for curiosity but it would be nice and cool to find or make one. Does anyone have any info on this, where to buy or how to get relevant measurements?

    There are 2 cup holders in the center. This is the one that’s further back, and which doesn’t come with a built in cover.

    Thanks!!

    Ask your kid if I gave you a link to an STL or OBJ file of the armrest cup holder area that to scale, can the kid take it from there and work magic?

    If not... if you give me some pictures of what it should look like.. I can easily mock it up and you can upload the finished file to many sites to have it printed for you.

    Funny part is, i 3D scanned that area a few days ago to make my arm/mouse riser platform thinggy.
