The surgeon general has determined that smoking is hazardous to your health, so I present this ashtray conversion. (Not that you'd let anyone smoke in your NSX anyway.) You can print it in solid black or an illuminated version that lights up when the parking lights or headlights are on. Still seems odd to have a vehicle with such a good ashtray design (illuminated for night use!), yet no serviceable cupholders.

The design uses multiple trapezoids to achieve the largest storage cubby possible, accounting for the rivets in the outer ashtray assembly. Filleted to match the OEM console and designed to use the ashtray’s latching mechanism. It has a “back” to obscure the view of the ejection spring behind it. It's a bit bigger than the ashtray, but most importantly doesn't have the large ash plate blocking most of the opening. Easily switched back if you want it back to stock. You can convert the lighter port to as USB phone charger as shown as well. As you can see, the black USB charger looks much better than the white one.
To remove the old ashtray, push up on the cover (where it says push) and the ashtray will pop out. (See Owners Manual if required.) The storage cubby attaches using a similar latching mechanism. Push it in until it latches and remove it the same way as the ashtray. Cover can still close. It fits fairly tightly, but 3D printers will vary, so if it's too tight, you can trip the release in the top with a scratch awl and pull the cubby out with a pliers. I didn't want it to be loose and potentially rattle.
Print in PETG, or ASA or ABS if you leave your car in the sun with no sunshade. NO PLA!

(I thought I had posted this to the repository a while ago, but I guess not, so here it is.)
