We see a steady stream of Hyundai Santa Fe owners chasing this exact part — the cup holder insert is a known weak point once the plastic has a decade of heat cycles in it. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.
Why these break
Divider flaps and spring arms snap off. Vibration fatigue does the damage: thousands of kilometres of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.
How we reproduce them
Bring in the broken part and we'll reverse engineer it — usually with a design tweak that addresses why it failed in the first place, not just a copy of the weak original.
We print these in PETG. PETG has a little give in it, so it snaps into place like the original and shrugs off the knocks that shattered the old part.
As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
