Squiddle Lunchbox

This is how you can make a squiddle box! Change it and customize however you like or make it more practical to print if you like! in the final step I've added instructions for some hinges for the box. You will only need tinkercad for this project. :]

Drag a cube on to the workplane, and change it to dimensions where one side is longer than the other, for example I used 44mm by 59mm. Drag another cube onto the workplane and change it to a hole shape. Pull the second cube inside of the first one and change it so there will be a little bit of space around the second cube, then group the two together.

Duplicate the shape by selecting it and clicking the symbol with three squares then rotate it so the hollowed out bit is on the bottom. Grab another cube, shorten it and change it's size to 51 by 40 by 2 if your base shapes are the same as mine. Duplicate the shape and change the original to a hole shape, group the base and the new hole cube then add the duplicate to the shape and change the color or the duplicate to white.

Add a scribble shape to the work plane and draw a bell-like shape and add small arms to it to make to body of your squiddle. Drag another scribble shape to workplane and draw a face and the front facing tentacles. Duplicate the new scribble then change it to a hole shape, and overlap the two shapes and group them, then add the duplicate near the shape and make it slightly shorter. Drag the squiddle to the square shape with the white top. Add other squiddles by making a bell shape and rotating it.

Drag a tube shape to workplane and change its color to red, and make it longer (my dimensions are 4.90 by 9.30) and add it and three duplicates to the top of a long side on the non-decorated box shape. Make one extra duplicate, move it to the side and group the shape. Change the extra duplicates dimensions so its slightly shorter (i did 4.80 by 8.80) and add it and one duplicate to space that would be in between the original tube shapes on the bottom of a long side on the decorated shape. Drag a cylinder to the workplane and make the dimensions 32 mm by 3.41 mm. Drag another cylinder to the workplane and make its dimensions 7 mm by 2 mm and put on top of the first cylinder. Drag cylinder and torus shapes onto the workplane. Put the torus shape on the cylinder near the top like the fifth photo and group them, then change it to a hole shape. Put the hole shape in the end of the screw-like shape and group them. Drag a tube shape and another torus shape to the workplane fit the torus shape inside the tube (see sixth image for example). Put it on the second screw-like shape on top, your shapes should look like the last image.
