I collect stupid little cups. These are sometimes called ‘toothpick holders’ or ‘shot glasses’ but I call them stupid little cups. The primary reason I collect stupid little cups is the following.
- They are cheap, so I can buy several on a trip and not feel bad about it
- They are smaller than coffee cups
- They are generally uniform in scale, which means they are easy to display
However, there are not a lot of great options for stupid little cup display settings, because not many people apparently recognize the values I outlined above.

so I took this as a learning opportunity within fusion to design my own modular and stackable stupid little cup holder. The benefit of this design is it’s simple to print, each cubby takes about 1 hour to print. I have LED strips coming from Aliexpress to light the individual cubby, which is why there is a hole at the top.
I had considered building this out of wood, however I discovered the cost of the wood at Home Depot for the dimensions I need (without a table saw) would be $120 for the wood alone and I decided that was much too much for stupid little cups as they serve no practical purpose whatsoever.
Eventually, I would like to swap out the controller from Aliexpress with an arduino and custom code to light up specific glasses at a time, selectable from a menu. For example you might want to illuminate only the shot glasses from the states, for example.
