How to make a doorstop storage cup with vibe CAD
Keep a loose wedge-style doorstop in one place when it is not being used. An open-top cup follows the wedge's thick end and includes a finger opening so the item lifts out without a tight fit.
Concept illustration. Customize the prompt and upload your CAD.
A holder for storage away from moving doors; no door-control function is intended.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Doorstop length, width and maximum thickness.
- Angle or curved profile of the wedge.
- Available storage footprint away from the door swing.
- Space needed to grasp the thick end.
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 freestanding storage cup for a detached doorstop with stop_length, stop_width, stop_height, pocket_clearance, cup_depth and finger_opening. Ask for missing dimensions and storage orientation. Use a loose open pocket with a broad flat base. Keep part of the doorstop exposed for gripping. The printed object is storage only; do not model a replacement doorstop or a door-holding mechanism.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Choose the storage pose
Place the doorstop on its side or flat face and decide which end remains exposed. Favor a low arrangement over a tall narrow cup.
Make a reference wedge
Model the measured outline as a separate reference body. Offset its sides to define the pocket without copying every surface texture.
Open the gripping area
Remove part of the front wall so fingers can reach the item. Round the remaining rim and review the base footprint for rocking.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Check a paper footprint in the proposed storage location.
- Inspect the pocket section to ensure the wedge cannot become trapped beneath a lip.
- Use a small pocket coupon if the doorstop has an unusual curved profile.
Material
PLA or PETG can be considered for the holder.
