Spinning Drink Holder

Spinning Drink Holder

A simple drink holder tray with a twist to it (literally). The spinning drink is a neat little tray that can be spun freely, housing up to two drinks.

The model is printed in two parts: the base and the top. The top holds a loose bearing connected to the base's centre allowing the top to be spun around.

There are two different base sizes and three different cup sizes.

You can use a large or small base. The large is recommended over the small as it can hold larger cups with a 60-80mm bottom. The small can only hold the bases of cups that are 55mm or less. Smaller is best for a compact holder.

The left and right holders have different grooves, one sharp for flat-bottomed cups and another with smooth grooves for round-bottomed cups.

Although not necessary, I encourage enabling tree support for the top piece to avoid the bottom of the bearing from collapsing.
