Golf caddy cup fix by Jared

A golf caddy cup holder broke. Jared redesigned it in CAD with a logo of a friends favorite NFL team (ATL Falcons) to give for Christmas rather than having him rebuy one from the store.

This is a great and practical solution. It helps a friend out and add a bit of personality to it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to use hardware at all?
Nope! It can just be 3D printed, as long as it solves the problem.
What is the max size?
While there is not a strict restriction, it should be able to fit on most 3D printers (256x256mm).
Can I work with a partner?
Yes, as long as only one person submits the projects.
Can I design a solution for a friend?
Yes, but you should encourage you friend to design it themself. You can still help though! Don't give them the fish, teach them to catch!
What is the max number of submissions one can do?
Probably 3. Stay tuned as this may change! Updates in Solvable Slack Channel!
