Make Arches Great Again! 🇺🇸
Napoleon got the Arc de Triomphe. So why shouldn't the greatest, most tremendous, most beautiful president ever get his own?
Introducing L’Arc de Trompe — a monument to victory, vanity, and the fine art of never being wrong.
Naturally, the name has three magnificent meanings:
Arc de Triomphe — The famous Parisian monument celebrating military victories and national glory.
Arc de Trump — A monument worthy of a president whose greatest achievement may be his ability to celebrate himself.
Arc de Trompe — A little French wordplay! The verb tromper means to deceive, mislead, or cheat. Purely coincidental, of course. Absolutely no connection whatsoever. Fake news!
Three meanings for the price of one. What a deal!
A Face Only a Nation Could Love
Traditional triumphal arches have an opening for victorious armies. This one has something far more impressive: the world's biggest mouth!
A Golden Achievement
Perched on top is a golden devil, complete with horns, wings, and a pitchfork.
Why not an angel of victory? Well, angels are rather modest creatures, and modesty would clearly be out of place here.
Print Your Own Piece of History
Print the arch in marble-white filament, the devil in gold, and display it somewhere prominent. Preferably where everyone is required to admire it.
And remember: this is a work of satire. Any resemblance to actual persons, events, or alternative facts is entirely intentional.

🖨 Printing Tips — Handle with Care!
My recommended print settings:
Scale up as needed: Do not print too small, because of the fine details. Preferably basewidth 20 cm.
Layer height: 0.20 mm
Infill: Lightning — saves filament without sacrificing presidential grandeur.
Supports: Everywhere, preferably organic supports.
A word of caution: Removing the supports is a delicate operation! The fine ornaments and devil's details need a gentle touch. Patience, precision, and perhaps a few diplomatic negotiations are recommended. Don't declare victory too early!
Multi-material printing: If you're lucky enough to have an MMU or another multi-material printer, you can assign different colors to the devil and several architectural ornaments directly in your slicer. I'm still waiting for my own multi-material upgrade to arrive!
My suggestion: Printed the entire monument in Prusament Marble PLA, then use a gold marker to color the devil and selected ornaments. A simple solution (when you do nat have a MMU) that gives it a suitably extravagant finish — without needing a presidential budget!
❤ As Always...
If you like this design, give it a heart — my only payment, and considerably cheaper than a presidential monument!
Share your makes and pictures, and feel free to ask if you have any questions or suggestions.
Unlike the monument's inspiration, I don't need millions of followers. A few likes will do just fine! 😄
