Juice Box Weirdos

thingiverse

Recently, while looking for how to best make a salsa-jar snow globe, I saw that a lot of people were turning juice boxes into boats and other cute objects by using stickers or paper. And I thought: "Wait a minute! What if I printed pieces for juice boxes? What if you could mix and match the pieces too?!" Surprisingly, I was unable to find a commercial product that did this. This seems like a gold-mine to some mass-produced toy company (which is why I was going to set the license to non-commercial, but decided that if folks wanted to make and sell on Shapeways or similar, feel free :-) I was going to title these "juice box heroes", but there is a musical band by that name (apparently doing children-friendly versions of classic songs). Given that I made an owl with goggles on, "weirdos" is more appropriate. More info and pictures at my blog: http://wp.me/p2hTaI-M These are more for sparking imagination than being "things" on their own. Which is why I've included a plain, basic end-cap for YOU to make your own things on: pirate ships, aircraft carriers, cats, alligators, dinosaurs, mars rovers, you name it! I have included all the SketchUp files to use as a launching point. Instructions While all of these are sized to print on a Thing-o-Matic, I HAVE NOT PRINTED THEM! This is fair warning because I'm not sure everything will come out as expected. You will most definitely need rafts and full support! That said, they are sized to fit on the ends of the majority of juice boxes I could find at the store. So print, place on the juice box, let you or your kids enjoy!
