Short independent sections match the actual bin lips, so a changed label or damaged section does not require rebuilding the entire row.","category":"Workshop organization","difficulty":"Intermediate","measurements":["Bin front-lip thickness and cross-section shape.","Usable lip width between corner features.","Label card width, height and thickness.","Clearance needed for the bin to slide into its storage position."],"prompt":"Model a removable bin-label rail with lip_thickness, lip_height, rail_width, rail_clearance, card_width, card_height and card_slot_depth. Ask for missing measurements and a section sketch of the bin lip. Use a loose open channel and a side-loading paper pocket with a removal notch. Include a short lip-fit coupon. Do not make a bin-support bracket or change the bin's stacking interface.","steps":[{"title":"Measure the actual lip","detail":"Check one bin at the intended label location and compare it with the others. Keep corner ribs and stacking features outside the proposed rail footprint."},{"title":"Build the short rail","detail":"Create a loose channel around the measured lip section. Add relief at the entry and keep the rail shorter than the available straight edge."},{"title":"Add the label pocket","detail":"Place a shallow card frame on the front with a side opening and thumb notch. Check that the card can be changed while the rail remains on the bin."}],"checks":["Review the lip-fit coupon on more than one bin before repeating the rail.","Inspect the assembly for clearance during bin insertion and removal.","Compare the paper-label opening with the actual card thickness and printed text area."],"pitfall":"Bins that appear identical can have different lip thicknesses or corner ribs, so one tight rail may not fit the whole row.","scope":"An unvalidated labeling accessory, not a bin mount, stacking adapter or structural storage component.","materialNotes":"PLA is a dry indoor prototype option. PETG can also be considered; choose clearance with a coupon rather than an assumed snap fit.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/hardware-bin-label-rail","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/hardware-bin-label-rail/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/hardware-bin-label-rail/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=hardware-bin-label-rail#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.
