Summary

This was made following the Tic Tac Box Challenge by DesignMakeTeach. When I read about it on twitter, I immediately thought that this was something for which I could make a design. I started thinking about what kinds of things could fit inside a Tic Tac container, and eventually thought of a Lego Minifigure.
I originally thought adding a 2x4 lego strip onto the design would suffice, but it ended up being a bit to wide to fit well. So I cut the 2x4 strip down to 1x4, centered it, and made this design.

The design with _v1 at the end is actually not centered, though. It's a little bit off. At first, I considered this pointless, but I'm thinking having the strip offset in the y dimension might be helpful for either having the guy hold up his hands or to fit a flowing cape. the _v1 design is not very off-centered, though, and might not make a considerable difference. I printed one off and will update this after some testing. The _v2 file is centered.

I then repaired it in netfabb basic; the original had shells around each individual part, netfabb combined them into one. It shouldn't have any weird holes or whatnot. Let me know if you problems design-side.

The idea is to have a fun way of displaying your cool, custom Lego minifigures using something you might normally throw away; a Tic Tic container!
