How to make a desk sticky-note dock with vibe CAD
Create an open-front dock for a sticky-note pad that exposes the peel edge and leaves enough room to lift the last few sheets.

A desk organizer for adhesive notes
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Measure the pad width, depth and height in its current packaging-free state.
- Identify the adhesive edge and the direction in which sheets are normally peeled.
- Measure the reach needed for one finger below the front edge of the pad.
- Record the available desktop footprint and any adjacent pen or keyboard 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.
Generate a sticky-note dock with pad_width, pad_depth, pad_height, side_gap, rear_wall_height and peel_recess_width. Keep the adhesive edge against the rear wall and the peel edge open. Ask for pad orientation and finger access dimensions. Use a user-selected side_gap rather than claiming a universal pad tolerance.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Orient the pad correctly
Mark the adhesive edge in the sketch before adding walls. Place the open front opposite that edge so sheets can peel in their intended direction.
Add the guiding walls
Build a shallow floor with rear and side walls. Keep the front side-wall corners low enough that a curling sheet does not catch during removal.
Create low-stack access
Cut a wide finger recess into the front floor edge. Leave support under the remaining pad area and round the exposed corners of the recess.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Use a paper mockup and a nearly depleted pad to verify that the final sheets remain reachable.
- Trace a peeled sheet above the CAD side view and check for contact with the front corners.
- Check the exported pocket size and plan a small wall-spacing sample if the pad edges are not square.
Material
Compare PLA and PETG for the desired finish and ease of cleaning.
