Let’s talk nepenthe

but the real question is, what's inside. Oil, or could they be sipping on some tequila?

It kind of looks like the "hammered" texture spray paint.

The bottle surrounds look to be textured plastic from factory. I’m guessing as a way to help grip the smooth bottle. I have one hopefully arriving in a week or two that I can confirm.

From those screenshots it really looks like the tubes are pressed OVER a thing coming out of the bottle cap. What do you call those, backwards serrated things - barbs?

I believe it could be a barbed splicer, a barb coming out of the cap and one underneath the cap for the hose going down into the bottle.

Got a bit inspired by the progress of others on this one, so I ordered a bottle on Temu and started to work on the greeblies for the side of the bottle. I'll share the files once I see how they print tomorrow:

As for the writing, it looks like the glyphs at the top and bottom are the circuitry logo for The Resistor, as seen on the sparkpad:
The Mandalorian Chapter 22 "The Resistor" spark pad case ID help

The Aurebesh text running vertically on the bottle reads "The Resistor" as well. All the writing on the bottle looks laser etched to me, but I could be wrong.

Good eye!!

Haven't test printed yet (something else took precedent) but there shouldn't be anything odd going on with these really - they slice fine for me. I'll print them for my bottle when it gets here, but Temu takes a few weeks.

Receiving a pair this week. will model the necessary parts for sure. Keep you posted guys. I already have the text lay down.

I lied - I was able to pull a print off the bed today and give it some quick paint. I'm really happy with where this is headed. Now just to wait for my bottle...

Looks great, but connector part is wrong. You are missing a key detail. it is not flat.

This is wicked

From the screenshots I was able to grab, each side of the bottle has a different greeble. This is the "left facing" one - where the gold elements are flat and continue to the edge of the chip. The "right facing" chip has a ridge at the far edge. I've only printed the left piece so far.

If I were you, I will double check the episode. It is clearly the same model, inverted. I could be wrong, of course.

This is the shot that's giving me the extra ridge on the end specifically:

That said, I could be wrong too. Or there might be a couple different molds the prop makers used so some are symmetrical and some aren't, making us both right for different bottles. We're all working off poor res screenshots of the scenes until one shows up in the community. In the end, if I need to remake it I'm out $5 for another bottle. ;-)

Looks like they are mirrored, just the one on the left has a white stripe painted on it.

I live for this stuff…

I might split the difference and put grooves in the raised section of one side for now. One of these will hit an auction site or collection page soon enough - that bar was so full of them that a few will inevitably slip out.

I’m curious about the graphic etched in the top

It is nothing actually, just a weird design.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

IF the bottle is about 34mm thick, the pvc hose should be this one:

or very close to that one.
PS: Hope to receive my bottles this week to re-validate all published measurements.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

and about the cap, we will have to create something like this piece, with the correct top fitting
6.3x6.3 or 4.8x4.8 connectors should do the work for sure. Inclined to use 4.8mm just because internal diameter is 5mm
