You’re at Costco, and as usual, the food court is bustling with shoppers. You might want to indulge in the temptingly cheap hot dog and drink combo, but where to place that food while navigating the crowded aisles? Juleon Cotillon, a pastry chef from the Bay Area and a 3D printing enthusiast, has solved this problem with a clever invention.<\/p>\n

He created The Buck Fifty<\/strong>, a custom 3D-printed tray designed to fit on the back of a Costco shopping cart’s baby seat. This innovative design features a flat platform for your hot dog on one side and a cup holder on the other, allowing you to safely carry your meal as you shop. This thoughtful product aims to keep your snack secure while you navigate the store, all the while ensuring that you can consume it before it gets cold.<\/p>\n

The tray is available for $19.69 from Cotillon\u2019s Shopify store<\/a>. Due to the growing interest sparked through social media, orders are now being taken in advance. For those with similar skills, this invention might inspire other variations, perhaps featuring custom logos or different pocket designs for various foods.<\/p>\n

As for me, I\u2019m planning to place a pre-order as a gift for a friend, which also nudges me towards experimenting with 3D printing myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
