I enjoyed the trumpet boy meme. For those who haven’t seen it. It was someone free transforming the boy, creating an illusion that the boy was deliberately playing the trumpet to annoy the girl.

I decided to make an Automation toy with cams and followers. With the limitations of not using a 3D printer, I’ve decided to use acrylic to replicate the color palette as much as possible. I first designed the parts in 3D to test in physical simulation. Later, the sketches are exported to Adobe Illustrator to be used for laser cutting.

The result is successful and playful.
