How to make a dice tray corner insert with vibe CAD
Reserve a quiet corner of an existing game tray for dice that are not currently in use. A removable low divider follows the tray's inside corner and separates stored dice from the open rolling area without changing the tray itself.

A dice-storage accessory, not a tested rolling surface or randomness mechanism.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Tray inside corner radius and wall angle.
- Footprint occupied by the intended dice set.
- Available corner width and depth.
- Desired divider height below the existing tray rim.
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 removable dice-storage corner insert with tray_corner_radius, corner_width, corner_depth, divider_height, wall_thickness and fit_clearance. Ask for missing tray dimensions and dice sizes. Use a loose rounded footprint and a low curved divider with a finger notch. Show the existing tray as reference geometry. Do not assume dice sizes are standard or claim that the insert changes roll fairness.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Map the real tray corner
Trace the inside corner on paper, including its radius and any fabric lining. Arrange the dice beside it to find a useful storage footprint.
Build the separating wall
Create a low wall across the corner with a broad rounded base. Keep its exposed top below the original tray rim and clear of the main rolling area.
Add a removal point
Cut a finger notch where the insert can be lifted without pulling the lining. Avoid a tight perimeter fit that depends on compressing the tray walls.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Compare a paper footprint with the lined tray corner.
- Review the tallest stored die against the intended divider height.
- Inspect the digital insert for narrow gaps that could trap a die.
