3D Prints of the famous Nuka-Cola from the Fallout series are nothing new, but they’re usually solid props which you can’t drink out of, or usable bottles which you will then need to carefully print with some sort of food safe filament that also requires something to make it watertight.
Maker Jason Marshall of the fun to say Jaw Drop Prop Shop has taken a different approach to the idea: printing a plastic shell that apes the fictional drink, which can then be fitted around existing bottles.
Using Tinkercad Marshall got to work remixing an earlier version of the project from another user. As someone who designs the insides of Starbucks as a day job, his CAD experience came in handy here.
That version used a different type of Nuka-Cola as the base, so the model was reworked to replicate the classic look of the drink. It was resized, the logo and cap were added, and the tolerances were improved.
Printing of the five separate pieces took around 24 hours to complete before they were bonded together. The plastic was sanded down, primer was applied and Plasti Dip was added to ensure everything was as smooth as possible.
With that done paint could be applied and a sealant finished things off.
The version you see on this page is built around a 16.9 oz Perrier bottle and stands 9.5 inches (24 centimetres) tall, but Marshall has since made many other variants.
There is a miniature version designed for a 8.55 ounce Sprite bottle, and even one for those small glass bottles of alcohol.
Most of these designs can be downloaded for free from Thingiverse. The larger bottle, smaller variant and even a Nuka-Cola Quantum are available right now, but the alcoholic one is not up as of yet.
Check back here soon for more Fallout 3D prints, including an update to the sentry bot created by a Bethesda artist made, which has since been updated with robotics.
