Kids have probably been begging their parents to just let them eat the sweet marshmallow goodness in the Lucky Charms cereal ever since it hit the market, and adults have been secretly wishing they could do just that as well -- and the Lucky Charms Sifter provides a way for that to be the case. Although it should only be used to responsible grown-ups.
Created by Thingiverse user Tom Lombardi, the Lucky Charms Sifter is a 3D printed cup that removes over 90 percent of all the cereal, leaving only the colorful marshmallow bits that really is the only reason that people purchase this particular cereal. The truly beautiful thing about the Lucky Charms Sifter is that anyone can make it if they have access to a 3D printer. Lombardi has kindly provided all the specifications.
