Not all liquid laundry detergent spouts are the same size, and not all cups are either, So, you need a detergent cup holder that fits various size spouts and cups. 

Also, a one piece holder that clips onto the spout and has the cup holder connected will be weak one way or another. If it is printed with the cup holder on the build plate, the shaft and the prongs will be weak because the layers are parallel to the stress. If it is printed on its back so the shaft is on the plate, then the cup holder platform will be weak for the same reason.

This design has a sliding upper jaw that can fit any size spout. It also has a separate cup holder platform that is either friction fit or glued after printing. Since all the parts print flat, when it is assembled, the layers are perpendicular to the stresses. That makes it much stronger.

The recessed area has a diameter of 76mm (3"). That will hold the largest diameter cup I could find when I measured several at the store.

PrintTips:

  1. Since these are functional parts that will take some stresses, I used a 40% infill, way more than I normally use.
  2. Use organic supports. I painted on the support enforcers,  or auto painting, (see pictures for location) for the SpoutConnectLeft.stl only.
  3. SpoutConnectRight does not need support. The channel is so narrow that there is no sag when it gets covered.
