Like I said, I am all for new ideas. I go through about 200 rolls a year of material designing/printing various things. even printing at 100% infill I dont see this supporting a full can of soda without it breaking. The way you have it designed and being assembled the cup part will have too much downward pressure for the part you have going in the spaces. I would suggest at a minimum printing it as 1 piece instead of 2 at a minimum.

For my speaker brackets I designed for the dash I went through at least 80 different revisions before getting it to a point where it would work well. My rear speaker brackets were about the same and that was before printing them out in abs and nylon and testing those versions out.
