Consider cord storage for a charger application.

If using an iPhone as a GPS device for any longer period of time, it will need to be plugged in. Having a place to stash the extra cord length from the lighter to the ash tray would be a premium. It keeps the cord from dangling around and getting in the way of the shifter etc.

if you can do that, it shouldn't take you any time to make one into a cup holder that holds my coffee cup for Saturday am cars and coffee cruise ins....

Instead of having to source it out to a local third-party printing service, have you considered selling the 3D model file, and people could print their own?

There's a Kickstarter campaign going on now that the creator has made a bunch of 3D printable pieces for use in playing Dungeons & Dragons that let you print and build your own dungeons.

(No affiliation, but I am a backer!)

Just an idea.

I found a way to include a cord holder in the same volume, so it won't increase price.
Here is a picture. There are holes everywere so you can tight the cord in the mount. There is space under the 914 dashboard so the cord can enter and exit the mount from below.

I found i-materialise has by far the best price on the internet for this printing technique. It is not ABS printed (with a wire) but with laser from a powder. These are very expensive machines and this is not the kind you can have home or at your library. ABS (wire) is not precise enough for this design that has 0,2mm details.

This is a good thing you're doing. I've just been sticking mine in the actual ashtray (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I'll be in for one or two kits.

I just ordered the 3D print with the cord storage. I should receive it within 10 working days. There is no price increase with this feature, we are still around 20 Euros + shipping for the 3D printed kit alone.

As i-materialise is in Belgium, you may have to add 001 before your number (USA prefix)

Exemple

001 212 439 XX XX
