Well, it’s 100 days later and all we have to show for it are these fruity Gummy Trumps, made possible with 3D printing.
As President Donald J. Trump and his actions, inaction, and first-100-days pledges come under scrutiny, there’s certainly one good thing that has come from his reign: these colorful Trump gummies that look pretty damn tasty.
The Gummy Trump is designed by self-proclaimed internet entrepreneur Cornelius Wilson, who based in Atlanta, Georgia. Unsurprisingly, the project is a bit of an attention seeker, creating a bombastic and frightening representation of the Commander-in-Chief.
“The greatest gummy bear of all time” comes in five tongue-in-cheek flavors: Watermelon Wall, Make America Grape Again, Blow My Berries, Thank You Russia!, and Trump Orange.
A pack of Gummy Trump will cost you $10, containing approximately a dozen POTUS pieces. Each individual squishy snack stands just over 7cm tall.
3D Printing Gummy Trump Molds. SAD!
Wilson claims it took over 30 hours to produce the first Gummy Trump. The process seems a simple one, enhanced with the use of an Original
He explains:
“I first created a 3D image of Trump, and then using my 3D FDM printer with a .10mm mold casting to create ten models of Trump. Once it was printed I had to create the food safe silicone molding. This required a Smooth Sil 940 kit and a few other miscellaneous items.”
The next step, detailed in a post on Reddit by Wilson, is to create the gummy mixture itself.
Wilson’s eclectic edibles are available through the Gummy Trump website. They will also be heading to Kickstarter on May 1st, where a $30,000 aims to cover the production costs and shipping. Better prepare for a wait though, as the estimated delivery date is September.
