An open-top cup follows the wedge's thick end and includes a finger opening so the item lifts out without a tight fit.","category":"Home organization","difficulty":"Beginner","measurements":["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."],"prompt":"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.","steps":[{"title":"Choose the storage pose","detail":"Place the doorstop on its side or flat face and decide which end remains exposed. Favor a low arrangement over a tall narrow cup."},{"title":"Make a reference wedge","detail":"Model the measured outline as a separate reference body. Offset its sides to define the pocket without copying every surface texture."},{"title":"Open the gripping area","detail":"Remove part of the front wall so fingers can reach the item. Round the remaining rim and review the base footprint for rocking."}],"checks":["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."],"pitfall":"A pocket copied exactly from a textured rubber wedge can grip too tightly and make the cup lift with the doorstop.","scope":"An unvalidated holder for storage away from moving doors; no door-control function is intended.","materialNotes":"PLA or PETG can be considered for the holder. Select clearance through measurement and a coupon rather than material assumptions.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/doorstop-storage-cup","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/doorstop-storage-cup/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/doorstop-storage-cup/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=doorstop-storage-cup#workspace","agent_handoff":"https://partsforagents.com/guides/cad-to-print#connect","full_mcp":"https://partsforagents.com/api/mcp","free_advice_mcp":"https://partsforagents.com/api/advice/mcp","tool_schemas":"https://partsforagents.com/tools.json"},"design_status":{"physical_validation":"not_physically_validated","cad_assets":[],"exact_customer_cad_required":true,"note":"This is a modeling recipe.
