Hello again everyone, I appreciate the reviews and bumps people have posted; looking at a lot of my etsy reviews, as well as here-- people wish they found the item earlier.
I'm grateful for everyone giving me this opportunity to prosper in the field that I like, as well as giving me ideas.
And yes, as OP before noted, I am indeed 18.
Would love to see you guys posting more pictures and reviews of the cupholder-- I am free to new ideas and designs, as well as suggestions.
More exposure, more people having the chance to get to see the cupholder.

Is it possible to do something like this when manufacturing the insert

1. By that you mean having both openings 3 5/8in, instead of the driver side being 3 1/4in?
I have that designed actually, however the phone cutout would have to be removed as there wouldn't be any space for it. I have an ad besides what OP has posted, which is customizable-- color and configuration wise. I can add that configuration.
2. Unfortunately 3d printed items do not share the same bond strength compared to traditionally manufactured parts. I'm sure a mechanism could be created that would lock the cup, but it would either: require way more labour than former would take, have to be multiple parts, be much bulkier. A spline however would simply break too easily.
What is the diameter of your bottles?
