Mazda MX-5 ND Cup holder - Extender
Tired of your extra large Stanley cup tilting and falling over during sharp turns? The Mazda MX5 ND Cupholder Extender solves that problem. This lightweight OEM-compatible enhancement adds 34mm (1.33 inches) of height to your stock cupholder, keeping drinks secure and stable. Weighing just under 50 grams, it features a removable ring held by the same locking clips as the factory part. Made from durable and heat-resistant PETG plastic, it withstands daily use while maintaining a clean, integrated look. Installation is straightforward—swap the OEM gloss black ring with the extender. The extender is designed to fit in only one direction for proper alignment. Perfect for drivers who refuse to sacrifice their favorite oversized beverages for comfort and safety on the road.Warning Notes: Handle removal carefully—take your time when removing the OEM ring or Enhanced Cupholder Extender, as breaking a clip could leave plastic debris stuck in the cupholder "valley". Clear all debris in the valley before installing. Removing the extender part from the OEM cupholder carries a high risk of breaking the back two locking clips due to how the part is printed. Breaking these two clips won't affect function—the part will still lock securely using the front 4 clips. However, if you break 2 or more of the front 4 clips you will have to reprint it. I highly recommend that you use a old credit card or similar pry tool instead of your hands to carefully work your way from the back first, the back side is the opposite side of the spring loaded part. If you compare the clips with the Original OEM gloss black ring to the 3d printer extender, I tried to reinforce them to the maxium distance allowed but breaking a clip is unavoidable because of the orientation; Horizontal, Top side down, that they break where the clip line is no longer printing on the base. If someone has a better way, let me know and we can collaborate a re-mix, I work in Fusion, or can comment there print profile settings. ------------------------------------------------Tested Materials: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol), PETG - CF (Carbon Fiber)Material Description: PETG is a type of thermoplastic polyester that is known for being durable, strong, and versatile.Material Softening temperature: Most PETG filaments start to soften and lose strength in the 70°C | 158°F to 85°C | 185°F range.Vicat Softening Temperature: 79°C | 174.2°FHeat deflection temperature: The heat deflection temperature is at 70°C | 158°F .
