The shape follows the box's actual inner walls and corner radii, reducing loose movement without pressing on cards, boards or the box lid.","category":"Tabletop games","difficulty":"Beginner","measurements":["Gap width and depth at both the floor and rim.","Height of the neighboring insert or component stack.","Box corner radius and any inward wall taper.","Finger access needed to remove the spacer."],"prompt":"Model a removable game-box spacer with gap_width, gap_depth, spacer_height, wall_thickness, corner_radius and fit_clearance. Ask for missing dimensions and whether the box walls taper. Use a hollow open-bottom shell with a broad top and a finger recess. Keep clearance from all neighboring components and the lid. Do not use an interference fit or claim transport protection.","steps":[{"title":"Measure the empty gap","detail":"Place the existing components in their normal arrangement. Measure the gap at several heights rather than assuming the cardboard walls are perfectly vertical."},{"title":"Build the hollow shell","detail":"Create the outside footprint, then hollow the underside. Keep the top below the box's closing plane and avoid narrow protrusions near component stacks."},{"title":"Add removal access","detail":"Cut a broad finger recess into an accessible side. Review the vertical lift path so the spacer can be removed without shifting the entire insert."}],"checks":["Try a cardboard block matching the proposed outer dimensions.","Inspect the lid reference plane for clearance above the spacer.","Compare the footprint against the box's actual rounded corners and taper."],"pitfall":"A spacer sized from the box rim may be too wide at the floor and push the cardboard walls outward.","scope":"An unvalidated gap filler for storage organization, not a structural brace or protective shipping insert.","materialNotes":"PLA is an indoor prototype option. PETG can be explored, but a looser measured fit is preferable to relying on material flex.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/game-box-spacer","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/game-box-spacer/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/game-box-spacer/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=game-box-spacer#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.
