I think someone was reproducing them awhile back.... anyone know where one could be obtained?

Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 22, 2015, 08:47:35 pm Wonder if these 3D printers could made these... found a image online... wonder what it would cost... black plastic with orange and white paint
Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 22, 2015, 08:56:07 pm found a larger image... wonder if a CNC machine could make it... looks like thick plastic (probably what they called thermo plastic from
that era the same they made the phones out of) anyone got a CNC machine in the basement looking for a project?! Ha- I could do a drawing of it in Adobe Illustrator :smile: Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Ltransam on March 22, 2015, 09:18:26 pm Iv had luck with 3D printers if you know someone that got one .
My shop dose have a CNC Fadal 3 axis machine. And we have a 4x12 Router that cuts out programmed plastic Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 22, 2015, 09:31:57 pm Hmmmm... what is the distance of the 2 holes where the feet set.. I think it uses 2 screws that go up through the feet
from the inside of the lid... Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: tkaz on March 22, 2015, 09:32:20 pm In case you didn't know, there's a new program at UPS Stores that they print 3D. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't comment on cost, but could be very interesting for small projects like this. http://www.theupsstore.com/small-business-solutions/Pages/3D-printing.aspx (http://www.theupsstore.com/small-business-solutions/Pages/3D-printing.aspx)
Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: georgescustompaint on March 23, 2015, 08:26:30 am Thanks for all your input guys !
I will ask my customer the distance between the 2 holes for mounting. Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: georgescustompaint on March 23, 2015, 04:56:55 pm My customer checked the distance between the 2 holes...
He says it is centre to centre 1 1/8 inches. Shane . Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Ltransam on March 23, 2015, 05:28:45 pm Shane . No promises !! But if we Eric and I can get the thing worked out .and get the basic profile water jetted out my guy said it shouldn't take maybe 30 minutes a side to finish it :tounge: Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: georgescustompaint on March 23, 2015, 05:30:13 pm Cool ! I'll cross my fingers :) cheers.
Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 25, 2015, 10:56:07 am How wide is that top rib that Crushy stands on... trying to figure out how tall and wide he is.. Or does anyone have one of these to get measurements from?

Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: georgescustompaint on March 26, 2015, 01:34:58 pm I have got a few more pics in my phone... hope these help
Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 26, 2015, 01:57:15 pm Yeah.. by chance did you measure how wide/thick the Crushy/handle is? I have it drawn up. is it plastic? almost looks metal with the grey color showing through...
Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 26, 2015, 02:00:36 pm Also this one looks a little different than the one I posted.. This one looks to have only one defined foot in the front with a little bit of a heel on it
with no front toe area on the back foot. does this one have 2 holes for mounting... 1 and 1/8 holes center to center. Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Ltransam on March 26, 2015, 04:09:34 pm Hey Shane Just borrow that one !!! What are those dispenser at every store up there. . :tounge: Eric I believe there cast aluminum or pot metal . I don't think the paint would have stuck to plastic . But you never know ?? Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Eric on March 26, 2015, 04:28:06 pm good even better.. I thought maybe they were thermo plastic of the times and I've seen one all black thinking the paint came off and it was solid black plastic...
aluminum would be nice... and last. Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: MoonDawg on March 26, 2015, 05:15:01 pm Just borrow that one !!! What are those dispenser at every store up there. . :tounge: Or find one under the tables at the local swap meet...... :biggrin: Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: Creighton on March 27, 2015, 02:34:08 am Looks like some jigsaw work and bonding some layers in wood and it could be made.
Creighton Title: Re: NEED CRUSHY TOPPER FOR OC Dispenser Post by: georgescustompaint on March 29, 2015, 05:35:48 pm Hi guys !!!
Sorry it has taken me a few days to respond. Been crazy busy in the shop. Little Crushy is half inch thick. He is not metal, but some sort of old school plastic. I actually have seen wood ones too. This one is a canadian version cooler.. And I was told there are a few slight variations of the crushy guy. Holes are same. 1 1/8 c to c. Len, I'd love to borrow that one lol but no can do... It's on display in a high end antqiue store. Thanks. Shane |
