Alright everyone! Ray and I are finally happy with the design quality and are planning to begin printing units Tuesday! This thread is going to be the official order thread, and orders will be filled as quickly as possible in the order of posts up here. Payment is preferred through Paypal (I’ll give the email for paypal out in a PM confirming your order) when it is ready to be shipped, but mailed check is also acceptable. Please, no payments until the item is packed and ready to be shipped.
There will be four models available, each priced at $45 shipped. Each model can hold a 32 oz “Big Gulp” comfortably, and excel equally well at holding more traditional 16oz coffee cups. The units will be printed in black ABS plastic, assembled using ABS glue. Each of these designs takes approximately 9 hours to print, allowing us to print two units per day. With the amount of interest in this item some will likely be waiting 30 days+ before delivery. The models are described below: #1 The 914 Ashtray Cupholder - $45 This model has a printed front face and is intended as a direct slide-in replacement for the stock ashtray. #4 The Stealth Ashtray Cupholder (Up to 73') -$45 This model re-uses the stock front from the ashtray, making the cupholder indistinguishable from a stock ashtray when closed. There are differences between ashtrays! See http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...&hl=ashtray for more information. I expect that prior to mid-74 the ashtray fronts was held on with screws (100% compatible with stealth design), and after 74 they switched. 74 and LATER ASHTRAY CUPHOLDERS are now available!! IMPORTANT: before placing your order, verify which ashtray you have (either a screw on ashtray front, or one with funny rivets). There will also be several accessories available. The list of accessories, along with short descriptions of each are listed below. #5 Soda-holding Insert -$8 This clips into the ashtray cupholder allowing it to hold a soda can or small water bottle #6 Phone Holder -$15 This accessory clips into any of the ashtray cupholders and rotates to lock in place. I currently have holders for the following phones, but will be continuing to expand the models available.
An anticipated accessory eventually is an adjustable holder, but no design work has been completed on it at this point. In summary, the prices are as follows: Any 914 ashtray cupholder - $45 Soda Holder -$8 Phone Mount - $15 Below are some videos of the ashtray in action. These represent the worst case of use for most users, as the test vehicle is a 2.4L typeIV, with the Koni suspension set to full stiff on bumpy roads! I did not go easy on it!

I just got mine today and installed it. Nice product, very happy with it. Slid right in no problems. I just need to figure out how to reach back in there to turn down the latch, so it doesn't come out. The Soda Can insert is a must. Soda cans fits very nice as well as my small water bottles. I probably shouldn't have ordered the iPhone 5 adapter since my iPhone has an otter box case on it.

However the iPhone adapter is useless and maybe to must of us. The issue with the iPhone is thickness,; one must remove the case To fit. I have the slimmest case and no go. Must of us have a case and it's inconvenient to remove. Overhaul, I am satisfy. Great product |

Must of us have a case and it's inconvenient to remove. I agree about the thickness. The holder must be a snug fit to prevent the phone from sliding out during bumps, and I have optimized the tolerances to be tight enough for the phone body itself. I really need to put together an adjustable adapter. I'm going to hold off shipping any more phone holders until I have a suitable adjustable phone holder. Thank you for the input!! |
