They make great child lunchboxes except for one flaw. The white clasps on the side are detachable and with even one missing, the box becomes unusable. Children, as they are wont to do, are great at detaching the white clasps and losing them. (The flatware is also easy to lose and children lose that, but the box is still functional without those items.)
One Flottig that has suffered such fate has made its way into my possession. I have meticulously measured all the measurements necessary to create a 3D model of the clasp in hopes of uploading it to Thingiverse and allowing parents to 3D print replacement pieces to keep their Flottigs in rotation until their child becomes an adult and takes the Flottig with them to their new adult home to pass down to their children. And so on and so forth. That I’ll benefit, too, is the motivation I needed to actually take the measurements.
So, if this sounds like a project you would like to be involved in where you take my measurements and create a 3D model and we upload it to Thingiverse as a free gift to the world, with your name as primary author for full credit, let me know! While I was planning on doing this as a free project as a labor of love (so there is no payment for any of us involved), I will happily treat my co-author of the 3D model to a Flottig of their own from the second-hand market.> prusa
Have a look at stlfinder, thingiverse or cults3d. Someone has very likely already modelled and created one free to download you can take anywhere you can get 3d printing done.
I do modelling as my day job and spend some time hobby modeling on the side with educational edition Autodesk software. I could probably whip that up for you in a couple days. PM me and let’s exchange some details.

Being “zero waste” means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R’s: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

Sadly, no one has. Apparently the venn diagram of those who know how to 3D model and those who like this bento box have no overlap.
Thingiverse is a relic. Printables.com
Thanks for letting me know. I’m obviously a novice in this area.
…yeah not all printers are prusa.

PM sent. :)
I love the internet sometimes. Hope this works out!
Me too! The internet is amazing!
btw, where are you at? There’s going to be a few test prints, so a city would be useful.
