Full Version: The Official 914 Ashtray Cupholder Order Thread

rnellums
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
Click to view attachment


#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.
  • a. Galaxy S4
  • b. Nokia Lumia 920
  • c. Iphone 4
  • d. Iphone 5

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!

The mount is designed for a phone without the case, so a phone-in-case will likely not fit. If you want a custom size, i can make one using dimensions you send me after the main ashtray cupholder production run is done, but I can't verify the fit will be perfect(there is a lot of tweaking involved to get the fit right).

Road testing this tonight, but the picture is misleading. That can is a tall boy. The can sits down in a 2" deep pocket that should hold it pretty well.

No worries! I'll take it as it is. I will want an adjustable one when they become available. Should be much easier for you as you can just carry the one adjustable for all the phones. Thanks for taking this on biggrin.gif . I've got a cup holder now but this will be great piratenanner.gif

Later ashtrays are not compatible with an early style mount. I am in the process of designing a compatible mount for 74 and later ashtrays, and hope to have it available soon.

The first 6 are shipping out!

Ray and I are going to wait until we hear back from the first six customers on how they like the quality before heading into production full swing. It is my hope that these first buyers will post their honest opinions of the product in this thread to provide a customer's perspective on the cupholders.

It is very important to us that people are happy with the product, so I want to be very clear about the level of finish of the 3d-printed parts.

Due to the way the printers work, the top of each part looks like a topographic map, and the build layers are visible. This is a 3d-printed part and looks as such.

Ray and I feel that the resolution/finish of the printer leaves something to be desired(is not that of a production part). That said, for us, the usefulness of the design far outweighs the aesthetic compromises.

I couldn't be more happy with how it works in both my 914's.

How's production going? Any feedback from the first batch yet?
naro914
I got mine on Monday and really like it, though I have not really 'tested' it while driving. I am not bothered at all about the 3D build layers because I got one of the 'stealth' versions so the only time you would see the surface of the part is when its pulled out...and to be honest it looks MUCH better than the old finish of my ash tray anyway!!

To me, the usefulness, quality and value FAR exceed any concerns one would have on the look and feel, which honestly is not bad at all anyway.

Here would be my only comment...you need a fairly large mug/cup to fit in without sliding through. No wimpy 'small' size Starbucks...though I think a pint glass fits nicely... beer3.gif

(Gosh, look at those cracks in the dash!!)

I got the package last night.

After looking at the product for a few minutes I have to say I was impressed with the engineering/design.

The use of the lap joints/rabbet joints really make for a strong unit. I gave it more than a just little lateral pressure and doesn’t flex.

Aesthetically it is fine. I ordered a black unit and it is true black in color with a uniform color throughout. Since I have seen 3D printing many times before it is exactly what I expected. If anyone is unsure then they should order the “stealth” unit as after the original front is attached it is unnoticed.

The fit in the dash was great – it slid right in with enough of a friction fit to let you know it isn’t sloppy and will stay put. The tab on the rear of the unit is a nice touch to keep the holder from being extended too far. I used an Allen wrench to turn the tab to the locked position (between 7 and 8 O'clock) after the unit was partially inserted. You could at least provide the wrench like the Chinese furniture companies do – just kidding!

I love the product and am now motivated to go to my storage unit and get my spare ashtray unit with the removable front. This will be going in the near Concours Willow green ’72 car that I hope to complete by next Summer.

Thanks a million, I hope this helps – cheers!
ben*james
I love it!

It's not so close to OEM looking that you would mistake it for being factory but it is tastefully done and seems to function very well.

My vote for best new 914 product of the year.

(My balls thank you. No more scolding coffee burns)
