Pepsi Perfect Future Bottle Lid

thingiverse

Turn any pilsner glass into a Pepsi Perfect bottle from THE FUTURE with this super versatile Pepsi Perfect lid. Print it just in time for Marty McFly's arrival on October 21, 2015. Where are the flying cars, you ask? I don't know, but the Pepsi Perfect bottles come straight from the future technology of 3-D printers. HOW IT WORKS: The lids are designed to scale with an inside diameter of 1 inch, which is way too small unless you want a mini future shot glass. Measure (in inches) the inside diameter of your favorite pilsner glass, easily obtainable at any thrift store, and scale it by that much. My glass has an inside diameter of 3.17", so I scaled it 3.17 times larger. At this scale, a plastic tube of 5/16" diameter from the hardware store makes a perfect straw. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: There are two lid options: one piece (no straw hole) or with straw hole. Both print easily without support. No hardware or finishing is needed for the hinged straw piece; it's built right in. How I Designed This Is it screen accurate? The main focus of this project was not to make a carefully measured screen accurate prop, but instead to create something that would allow anyone with access to a 3-D printer to hold something very similar to the prop in their hands. I did take care to design it based on how the props appear in Back to the Future 2. I made two versions because two versions are seen on screen. The first Pepsi Perfect bottle seen in Cafe 80's doesn't seem to have the flip up straw. Later, Marty's daughter is seen at home with a bottle that does have a flip up straw. Unlike other prop recreations you'll find online, my flip top flips all the way back as seen there. Custom Section Notes I know, now you need the Pepsi Perfect logo. I didn't make one of those, but you can find a great discussion on how to and some examples here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=176545&page=3 You can also see Pepsi's redesigned take on their own future logo on their website: http://www.pepsi.com/en-us/ Warning: The lid does not attach securely or create any kind of seal. It just looks great. Tell your friends before they throw Pepsi across the room. What makes Pepsi "Perfect"? Some sources say it has added vitamins. I suspect a splash of lime, vanilla, or rum.
