How to make a card deck divider with vibe CAD
Separate decks inside an existing card box using a thin divider with a readable tab. Measure the actual sleeved cards and box interior so the divider stays easy to lift without bending cards or preventing the lid from closing.

A proposed divider for the user's own game components.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Card width and height including any sleeves.
- Box interior width, depth and closed height.
- Corner radius of the box floor.
- Tab height that remains visible above the cards.
State units. If a dimension is missing, have your agent ask for it.
02 / GIVE YOUR AGENT A CLEAR BRIEF
Copy this into your CAD conversation.
Use Claude or another agent with a CAD tool such as OpenSCAD, CadQuery or your existing modeler. Fill in your measurements and keep the source editable.
Design a card-box divider with card_width, card_height, box_width, divider_thickness, edge_clearance, tab_height and tab_width. Ask for missing measurements and whether cards are sleeved. Use rounded lower corners, a broad label tab and a plain smooth card-facing surface. Keep the divider loose rather than wedged against the box. Include a simple paper-outline export for checking fit.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Measure the stored deck
Use the actual sleeves and normal storage orientation. Record the box's narrowest width and the available space above the tallest card edge.
Draw the divider outline
Make the lower panel slightly smaller than the box opening using a user-selected allowance. Match rounded floor corners so the divider can reach the bottom.
Place the label tab
Offset tabs across several dividers if needed. Keep any text on the tab rather than embossing ridges against the stored cards.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Try a full-size paper outline inside the box with the cards present.
- Check the lid-height reference against the tallest tab.
- Review corner relief and edge finish before selecting the final thickness.
