A small loose-fitting box provides a shaped recess around the rigid body and leaves the soft portion clear, with a sliding lid that avoids the accessory's attachment tabs.","category":"Photography","difficulty":"Intermediate","measurements":["Eyecup outer width, height and depth in its relaxed shape.","Rigid body dimensions and projecting attachment tabs.","Clearance needed around the flexible rim.","Available storage compartment and lid-removal space."],"prompt":"Design a detached-eyecup storage case with body_width, body_height, rim_envelope, tab_relief, pocket_clearance, lid_thickness and lid_clearance. Ask for missing measurements and which surfaces are flexible. Locate the rigid body in a shallow recess while leaving the soft rim untouched. Add a loose sliding lid and rail coupon. Do not reproduce the camera attachment or claim impact or dust sealing.","steps":[{"title":"Separate rigid and flexible outlines","detail":"Measure the eyecup in its relaxed state. Draw the rigid mounting body and the flexible rim as separate references so the recess touches only the intended region."},{"title":"Build the recess","detail":"Create a broad shallow pocket with relief around attachment tabs. Add a finger opening that reaches the rigid body without pulling on the soft rim."},{"title":"Add lid clearance","detail":"Place the lid above the tallest relaxed feature. Review its sliding path and leave enough space beside the case for complete removal."}],"checks":["Inspect section views for clearance around the entire flexible rim.","Review the lid-rail coupon before choosing its fit.","Compare the pocket with a full-size outline of the detached accessory."],"pitfall":"Measuring an eyecup while squeezing it can produce a recess that permanently holds the soft rim in a distorted position.","scope":"An unprinted storage case for a detached spare, without camera-compatibility or protection certification.","materialNotes":"PLA or PETG can be considered for the shell. Keep the accessory clear of rough interior surfaces during evaluation.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/camera-eyecup-storage-case","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/camera-eyecup-storage-case/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/camera-eyecup-storage-case/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=camera-eyecup-storage-case#workspace","agent_handoff":"https://partsforagents.com/guides/cad-to-print#connect","full_mcp":"https://partsforagents.com/api/mcp","free_advice_mcp":"https://partsforagents.com/api/advice/mcp","tool_schemas":"https://partsforagents.com/tools.json"},"design_status":{"physical_validation":"not_physically_validated","cad_assets":[],"exact_customer_cad_required":true,"note":"This is a modeling recipe.
