When I first made the cup holder I just got some 1/4" rod and fabbed a few to test. I have a small welder and basic welding skills. The rubber part that goes into the socket has to be custom made by a rubber co. and the frame is custom made for me and then I do all the assembly and packaging. Lucky for me I sell enough of them because I have to order 300 frames at a time and about a thousand rubber parts at a time to get the price down to where it is semi-reasonabe. There are a lot of costs associated with tooling and programing to set up to make a new gadget that can only be recouped by making and selling lots of them.
