How to make a deburring handle storage nest with vibe CAD
Organize a detached deburring-tool handle and its separate protective blade case in one drawer location. Two different recesses distinguish the handle from the blade storage, leaving the handle's controls clear and avoiding a printed replacement for the blade case.

01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Detached handle length and widest grip diameter.
- Projection and position of release controls.
- Outside dimensions of the existing closed blade case.
- Drawer footprint and finger-access space.
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.
Create a storage nest with handle_length, handle_diameter, control_relief, case_length, case_width, case_depth and fit_clearance. Ask for missing dimensions and confirm the blade is detached and stored in its existing case. Use shallow handle saddles and a separate loose case recess with finger access. Do not model blade retention, a cutting guide, a replacement guard or a working tool attachment.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Separate the stored items
Measure the detached handle and the closed blade case independently. Decide which end of the handle should face the drawer opening for easy pickup.
Create handle saddles
Place low rounded saddles beneath the broad grip sections. Add generous relief around buttons or release collars so storage does not press on them.
Add the case recess
Locate the existing blade case beside the handle with an open finger notch. Keep its latch accessible and its lid unobstructed by the surrounding tray walls.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Review a saddle coupon against the actual handle grip.
- Inspect the assembly for contact with controls or the blade-case latch.
- Compare both pickup paths with a full-size paper layout in the drawer.
