3D-Printed Custom Cab Accessories

Farm Sip Supreme specializes in custom, 3D-printed accessories for operators in tractors and other farm equipment. “I always help at the family farm during harvest,” explains founder Scott Diekmann. “One of the tractors had a terrible cup holder solution in it. I figured I could order something ag-specific but couldn’t find anything. It turns out hydration wasn’t much of a concern in the 1970s and ‘80s,” he says.

     Diekmann set out to solve this problem. “Thinking ‘how hard could it possibly be,’ I learned how to 3D model, then 3D print to make myself a cup holder for the next harvest,” he says. “I put it up for sale, and it steamrolled from there to a variety of products as folks have requested different things.”

     Today, Diekmann sells over 70 3D-printed agriculture accessories. “We offer a wide range of installation options, from floor-mounted gallon jug holders to integrated replacements for factory components with built-in holders,” he explains. “Most of our products are designed for easy installation using bolts, magnets or locking suction cups.”

     The company’s most popular model remains the Flatster, a generic holder that can be bolted onto any flat surface in a cab or on the fender of an open station. The Deere Soundgard ashtray replacement has also been a top seller for those seeking an OEM replacement. “It bolts right into place for the factory ashtray on the right side of the 40-50 series Soundgards,” says Diekmann.

     Farm Sip Supreme’s inventory is continually expanding. “Every product we make, aside from the original cuppy, has been a request,” says Diekmann. “We also do a fair bit of logo inlays for operations with up to three colors.” He appreciates this up-close insight into what his customers want most. “Looking forward, we’ll go where the requests lead us. I want to do more tool holders. I’ve seen a lot of cordless impacts just tossed on the floor in the cab to keep them out of the dust. So, if you have a custom request, contact us at sales@farmsipsupreme.com to get started.”
