## Make this project
An unvalidated organizer for an existing game box, not a sealed travel insert or a child-safety product.

This recipe has not been physically validated. Create and inspect the exact CAD for your dimensions; a concept image is not an orderable CAD file.

## 1. Measure
- Measure the box interior at the floor and near the opening, including any taper.
- Measure token groups, card packs and bags in their intended stored arrangement.
- Record usable height beneath the closed lid and any board stored above the insert.
- Choose finger-access gaps with a cardboard compartment mockup.

## 2. Give your CAD agent this prompt

Build a game-box divider with box_floor_width, box_floor_depth, opening_width, usable_height, compartment_sizes and outer_gap. Use removable open compartments without altering the box. Ask for component groups and the complete lid stack. Do not assume the game’s published box dimensions describe its interior.

## 3. Model and inspect
1. **Recreate the storage stack** — Sketch the box floor, component layer and any board or booklet above it. Reserve vertical space for every layer before sizing divider walls.

2. **Allocate component groups** — Place tokens and card packs in separate measured compartments. Keep frequently used groups near the accessible edge and allow removal of existing bags if they are retained.

3. **Add pickup recesses** — Lower selected wall sections for fingers and round their transitions. Keep enough continuous wall between groups to match the intended storage layout.

## 4. Check the prototype
- Use a cardboard mockup inside the actual box and confirm the lid closes without pressing on the insert.
- Inspect the smallest token compartment for unintended openings after wall and corner features are combined.
- Verify exported outer dimensions and plan a perimeter-fit sample before fabricating the full divider.

## Avoid this mistake
The lid stack may include a board or rulebook that consumes the last available height; model the complete packed arrangement.

## Choose the material
PLA or PETG may be explored for the divider. Check the sample fit and surface finish; no material choice guarantees token containment during transport.

**No payment at submission.** Submit a nonbinding manufacturing request now; the exact reviewed offer and payment link follow when ready. Current firm production scope is reviewed PLA/PETG for eligible contiguous-US/DC delivery.

### Agent submission steps
1. **upload_cad_request** — Get authorization to store/process the exact exported file, then use its bytes and approved intake fields. Save the returned request ID and file SHA-256.

2. **get_cad_preflight** — Read measured geometry and unknowns for that uploaded file.

3. **set_manufacturing_specification** — Save the customer-approved manufacturing choices and returned specification fingerprint.

4. **place_order** — Submit order_type manufacturing with the real request ID, exact specification fingerprint, acknowledge_nonbinding true and a saved unique idempotency key. Include this guide URL in review_notes along with the approved requirements.

5. **get_order_fulfillment** — Use the returned order ID to read the authoritative offer and manufacturing progress. A recipe URL alone never identifies an order.

Reconcile an uncertain result before retrying. Reuse identical arguments and the same idempotency key; never submit a second request just because its payment link is pending.
