Jump Scare Gum Container Pop Out Prank Toy

A playful 3D model inspired by a classic round gum container, similar to the iconic Hubba Bubba-style extra-long gum cases — but with a twist.

At first glance, it looks like a normal gum holder. The hinged lid opens just like the real thing… but instead of gum, a surprise awaits. As the container is opened, a hidden millipede suddenly jumps out, creating a quick and harmless jump-scare effect.

The mechanism is simple and effective, powered by a single rubber band that stores tension and releases it when the lid is opened. The hinge and internal mechanism are assembled using a short piece of filament, which acts as a pin—keeping everything secure while remaining easy to build and maintain.

Compact, fun, and interactive, this model is perfect as a novelty print, desk toy, or gag gift.
