this is the bernie meme and by popular demand i'm gonna tell you how you can print your own
well there you are welcome back super special episode of 3d printing nerd because
by very very very popular request we're presenting a brand new model something that takes advantage
of one of the most pervasive and beloved memes in recent memory it's bundled up bernie a little
history because i've got my laptop open and i wrote it down so i wouldn't get it wrong
so the photo was taken on january 20th 2021 at the biden inauguration and it was taken by brendan
smielowski app getty images brendan said in in an interview it's just bernie being bernie one
thing to note people love this meme because it's bernie expressing what everybody would look like
when they think this meeting could have just been an email obviously but also the mittens the
mittens the story behind the mittens is fantastic a vermont school teacher uh jen ellis actually
back on february 2nd 2020 tweeted out i have some inventory and time for special orders and then she
listed her gmail address and it's funny because looking back she didn't realize how much press
she would get from bernie buying these and that tweet as of recording has over 15 000 likes and
5 000 retweets and in a recent interview with slate.com she says i think my gmail has crashed
but listen once that photo hit the internet it was meme gold it was shared wide and far the
memes from this photo are fantastic they they go to all over the globe and they are shared lovingly
and all sorts of pop culture communities in fact some of the bernies i've seen are are drawn and
some are 8-bit like in video games i think what's really crazy about all this is the popularity of
this meme and how fast it caught fire because the photo was taken january 20th and just within a few
hours the internet was inundated with bernie's in fact my entire twitter timeline was nothing but
bernie sanders bundled up memes and honestly i was okay with it so here's where this all started at 4
38 p.m january 21st i sent a text to garrett chelsea over at chaos cortech and i said please
tell me a bundled up bernie sanders is on your list to model and i ended it with three question
marks because i was very very interested in not so many words chelsea absolutely loved the idea and
got started chelsea gave up sleep and ingested far more energy drinks than what was thought humanly
possible and put out an amazing effort to get the bernie meme ready to print and so with that all
that work by chelsea all that really hard work i got to work printing it in there and thanks
to some psoriatech resin not sponsored on the frozen sonic mini uh hashtag not sponsored we get
100 scale bundled up bernie there he is all sort of uh chill and laid back with so this is what it
looked like with supports on this is what it looks like with supports off and bernie just bundled up
staying warm and showcasing that it should have been an email look that we all know and love
honestly at 100 scale this is like a pocket bernie a little pocket buddy this is something that you
can print and bring along with you to school to work to get coffee he could guide your car he can
you know what you can keep him in your own set of mittens more wait what not just 100 you want a
bigger bernie go large okay you got it well 100 scale bernie moves to the side
and we bring over 200 scale bernie and that's what it looks like still supported lean back and the
200 scale bernie looks fantastic looks wonderful showcasing that that idea of craving warmth and
the mittens and making sure we know that it could have been an email this slightly larger bernie
while it it can still accompany you to work or to school you can also let it hang out at
your coffee shop or perhaps sit out and make sure the kids get to school safely you can
