My Cup holder problem - Solved!

Many of us use the cup holders for Poland spring type bottles here in the US. And if you do, you know the bottles flop around a lot since the holder is bigger than the bottle. I wanted to learn 3D printing so I could introduce it to my students next year, and needed something to try to draw/build. I decided to design a cup holder insert that would fit tightly in the cup holder and let a water bottle fit inside it with a nice snug fit. The pics below(if I can figure out how to post them) are my first attempt. 99 percent perfect! May make a slight mod. Wondering if any of you have done this or have a need for it. Or if you like it? It solved my problem and I learned a new skill so I am happy. Just wanted to share.

Very nice! Owners can note that there is a bottle holder in each door that fits the Poland Spring style bottles .
