About Dnoodle
At Dnoodle, we’re passionate about creating comfort and convenience, especially when it comes to securing your drink and favorite cup while on the go. Founded by Scott and Kristy, an innovative Australian couple from Central Queensland near Yeppoon, Dnoodle was born out of a simple yet frustrating experience during a trip to Great Keppel Island in 2019. Struggling to secure a Yeti insulated cup to a floatie sparked the idea for a smarter solution—one that would eliminate spills, prevent damage, and ensure you never lose your expensive cups again.
Kristy, a professional chef with international experience and a strong sales background, played a pivotal role in bringing Dnoodle to life. Her resilience and determination were further fueled by her battle with stage 3 breast cancer. After receiving an all-clear diagnosis in 2022, Kristy and Scott decided to pursue their vision with renewed energy, officially launching Dnoodle in 2024.
Scott, an industrial designer and boat builder, leveraged his expertise to design Dnoodle with a deep understanding of the limitations of existing marine accessories. Traditional boat cup holders often lack versatility, fail to prevent spills, and are made from materials that are difficult to clean or install. Dnoodle was crafted to address these challenges, offering a durable, user-friendly, and adaptable solution for boats, SUPs, cars, offices, and beyond.
At Dnoodle, we’re committed to enhancing your everyday experiences with innovative, reliable, and thoughtfully designed products.
Getting it Right – Perfecting the Dnoodle
Creating the world’s best boat cup holder was no small feat. Scott’s journey began with a handmade prototype crafted with passion and determination. With a clear vision of what was needed, he experimented with various concepts, including Velcro, elastic straps, mechanical fixtures, and neodymium magnets. Yet, none of these solutions fully met his expectations. Determined to succeed, Scott collaborated with brilliant scientists and engineers in the U.S. to bring his vision to life.
Using computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D printing, Scott drew inspiration from nature—specifically, a flower—to refine Dnoodle’s design. Over 65 prototypes were meticulously tested to perfect the concept, critical tolerances, and manufacturability. One of the biggest challenges was eliminating the magnetic “snap” that caused foaming drinks, pinched fingers, and sudden jerks, while also ensuring Dnoodle remained safe for electronic devices. Additionally, the design had to withstand harsh marine environments without succumbing to corrosion.
After experimenting with 25 different magnetic configurations, Scott finally achieved the ideal “twist-to-release” E.A.M. (Easy Attachment Mechanism), allowing Dnoodle to function seamlessly. The result is a secure, user-friendly product that eliminates the risks associated with traditional magnetic fixtures. Today, Dnoodle is patent-pending, design-registered, and a registered trademark—a testament to its innovative design and functionality.
The name Dnoodle® reflects its origins, blending “Drink” and “Noodle” as a nod to the original floatie concept that inspired it all back in 2019 (coming soon). Throughout its creation, Dnoodle has engaged talents from over 16 nationalities, and we proudly say it was “Made on Earth by Earthlings.” This global collaboration has been instrumental in bringing Dnoodle to life, and we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of them.
