987 Cup Holder Dampening

[MikeWhite]

My 987 cup holder has lost the dampening when it is initially released.

On investigation I discovered that a tiny plastic cog had broken.  
I was not able to find any spare parts available from Porsche and even used  cup holders are very expensive.

After some research I found someone in the USA that has manufactured a replacement cog.

it fitted perfectly and was very easy to replace.

$22 for a pair plus $3 postage, arrived within a week.
full instructions supplied

Have these just been 3D printed?  How long did it take to arrive?

Took about a week to arrive 

This is what at the seller shared with me..

My original goal was just to fix my own cup holder, but once I came up with a solution, I thought maybe it could help some other people as well. It took me quite a bit of time and materials to finally come up with something that worked, so if I can recover some of my costs by selling the gears to other people, that's a nice bonus.    I only used one of the new cogs so if so if someone needs only one we could split the cost and I will pop it in the post.   that would be £9   I’m not sure how it was made looks too small and intricate for a 3D printer but I’m not expert   All I can say is that it works a treat.

@bally4563 do you need some dampening for your Thermos?
