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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-collections) is not limited to just fathers, but can also be created for [family pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-parent-gift-box).
