As pop culture idolizes "dad culture" more and more, Father's Day is the perfect time to go all out with the ultimate father's day gift -- a mini candy dispenser replicating his face.
The candy dispenser is made to order from your favorite photo of dad -- with front and side profiles -- and is created from a 3D printer. The dispenser is then hand-painted to recreate the details from the photo. The sculpture uses P.L.A. plastic which replicates the feel and density of a traditional candy dispenser. The sculpture can include glasses, rings, hats and more to completely customize the look and feel of the device.
This ultimate Father's Day gift is not limited to just fathers, but can also be created for family pets.
