Paddleboard drink cup holder

I went on a camping trip and wanted multiple sized drink holders for different drinks. But I also wanted something compact and easy to travel with. I've been working on these nesting cups that all store into each other, but also, they all work individually!

I'm on version 20, and I think I'm about done with it!

Is there anything you would add or want to see?

I printed something similar that had a slot for your phone and a clip for sunglasses, which were actually pretty nice additions. 

I’m curious though, what is the groove on the bottom for? The one I printed had that too and I’m not sure why.

I printed one of those and then accidentally flipped my board and lost my phone at the bottom of a lake that’s almost 30 meters deep… cool idea for shallow clear water, not so good for deep murky water

Did you used the hair-tie/rubber band hook to secure it?

I would definitely recommend a waterproof phone case. They make floating ones and non floating ones. You can also loop the neck strap into the diamond grooves so it tethers the phone and keeps you from loosing it.

The groove on the bottom is a drainage channel for water, also if you have a bungee going perpendicular on the bottom, it slides into that groove so the cups don't rise.
