iconoclasta_88 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Since it is quiet difficult to find any vintage tupperware hamburger stackers and cistern siphon in Mexico, I decided to make one from PVC and other material... So, I started with 2 PVC pipes: 1" and 2" wide; one 100mm PVC pipe and one cistern mmm thing (sorry, dont know the name but check out the picture). So far it is not exactly accurate but it was my first attempt. I know Im am light years from a finished screen accurate Backpack, but.. this is a start. Im planning of using rubber bands or something similar to simulate the different pieces that make the main body. What do you think? Any help is welcome...

RoCKo Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 that looks very nice so far, i´m very curious to see the final product... keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm planning to use L-shaped rubber for 'burger stackers' sidelines on mine Do you know a mix of white epoxy with some sort of other pastel? Easy to form as we please,and hard as a rock when its done...oh and strong at bonding things too,safe to applied on plastic,but tricky at mixing it,should be at precise equal amount for both. The white epoxy pastel as the glue and other pastel(dunno the name) works for hardened it. It usualy sold together as one package,I'll post pics of mine later I heard silicone works like a charm too,but not sure if it does. Goodluck bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thx for your comments... I myself am curious about how it will look when finished... I will work on it this weekend and post some pictures... Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGreatSot Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 That's awesome! I can't wait to see how it turns out after this weekend's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2802 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Clever idea and a nice improv. I think part of the fun in these scratch builds is the challenge of using whatever materials are at hand when what the crowd uses isn't readily available.

Scootch Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Way too cool! I have some floats in storage and thanks to this idea I can try them as an option too! Thanks Iconoclasta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 im sorry for my commonnes pic add more diameter and/or reduce the height,you'll know what i meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 im sorry for my commonnes pic add more diameter and/or reduce the height,you'll know what i meant I know what you mean and it looks like you are right. Since I dont have a hamburger stacker, I tried and get the measurements from pictures and all... So, so far my guess is something like this... 4.8in X 3.4in (I guess) So, taking in consideration that the widest pvc pipe that I could find was 100mm (3.9in) I guess I will make it 70mm (2.8in). Here is where I took the proportion of the stacker from. Of course, If any of you guys could actually measure up your real stackers and post the measurements it will help me a lot. Thanks a lot...

iconoclasta_88 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I was not able to work much on this project during the weekend, but anyway I did have some progress. I modified the mushroom cap using a hair dryer to heat it and bend it. And using super strong rubber bands and hot glue I simulated the different layers of the hamburger stacker... And I also trimmed a bit the main stacker body to make it shorter and more similar to the original one. What do you think? Saludos...

Scootch Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Dude that thing rocks! Is the mushroom cap part of that ball-float? The ones I have are pretty small. The burger stacker effect looks sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks for all your comments... It is really encouraging! Hope to work a bit more on it and will soon post some more pictures... Dude that thing rocks! Is the mushroom cap part of that ball-float? The ones I have are pretty small. The burger stacker effect looks sweet! Yep bro, it is part of the ball-float. But it is not for a regula home cistern or wc, but for a bigger cistern. In mexico this size is number 7 (going from 1 to 9 I think). I found it at the Home Depot for around 2 USD. It is around 12 cm in diameter or so. Anyway here is a picture... SALUDOS...

Btw the pipe is too high a bit,but the float is,once again spotted ON!!! Yes, I will have to cut a couple of inches from the top of the pipe. And I know I shouldn't had paint it yet, but oh well... just wanted to see how it looked in black. Still working on this part, slowly. Thanks for the comments. The process: is in this thread. HEHE.

iconoclasta_88 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 I finally finish the sifon-burger-pipe thing... Here it is next to my sifon from crashman's kit. What do you think? Its not identical but I think its fine. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashmann Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Nice work on both versions! Good job tapering the left tube as well. That can be tricky to get looking right. Adding the threaded pipe at the bottom left tube helps make it even more authentic, since that is where you would attach the lock nut when mounting it in the toilet. Great job!

So, next I satarted working on my backpack... Some parts supplied by Crashman (Thx bro), seedtrays supplied by Mr Bojangles (Thx a lot too), and pretty much the rest of it I made it myself (although it does not appear here yet)... Still have way there, but this is how it is going so far. Any comments are welcome! This is the pack so far... I know the metal nubs are not screen accurate but I liked them a lot. And this is with a couple of compartments opened... Saludos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
