For those pissed off with Pepsi! (aka, cheap Pepsi Perfect)

[CaptChunkyChew]

Hi guys, just thought I'd share a little thought that held some remarkable finds.
With the whole "official" Pepsi Perfect thing letting many fans down, I thought that I'd try and make my own. Then, while at the pub the other night, lager in my hand I realized it! the shape of a pint glass was very similar to the Pepsi Perfect bottle! So I googled "Plastic pint glass"- and I found this:

With some mods, a bloody good substitute? made of plastic, so no risk of shattering. Priced at £4.13+ shipping.
Thoughts?

What will the top be made of?

Thinking about 3D printing... possibly... Need to buy a glass before deciding to carry on. I just posted it as a potential route for people wanting their own.

Check out these plastic water bottles I found in Japan.

Cool... can't find anything about them online though...
I also found this, which looks slightly better!

and for cheaper! £3.99!

The second glass looks closer but its the cap that will be the problem and sealing it if you were intending on trying to make it usable or were you aiming for just a static prop?

 

[CaptChunkyChew]

I had intended on sealing it and making it usable, I have access to a laser cutter, so I will cut a circle of perspex and superglue it in with part of a plastic bottle glued onto it - which will be able to screw into the cap glued to the lid if that makes sense.

This is why I love this site Good find CaptChunkyChew. I think a 3D printed cap would be PERFECT (see what I did there) as you could have the cap printed with the flip top straw parts ready to go.

 

[CaptChunkyChew]

Yeah, now I just have to model the lid... how hard can it be?... I saw a great idea where someone used silver pinstripe tape that they use on cars to achieve the strip around the base of the cap, so it does not have to be part of the bottle under the cap. I find it quite funny how fans can make an find more accurate replicas than multi-billion dollar corporations can...

I'd put my hand up to do it, except I can't use any of those 3D programs beyond Google Sketch Up which can not draw circles, only polygons.

 

[CaptChunkyChew]

I believe you can get circles, and then bump up the number of sides to make it look really round... I need to figure out exactly how I'm going to make it before I start modelling.

I'm modeling some of the bottles over in my thread, perhaps our interests will converge.

I'm doing my work in Cinema 4D, but I'm not familiar enough with 3D printing to know if my work will be immediately printable. In my precursory look into printing from C4D, I think it would be possible.

You can use this 3D file, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1074961 and i think it will be perfect !

 

[BatMcFly]

reididtenroc good find! As Biff said "I'll take a look at it." I'm not familiar with 3D printing, so this could be helpful to compare any of my models. Unlike Biff, I won't carelessly throw it into my back seat.
