How to make a divided laundry peg sorter with vibe CAD
Separate different sizes of loose laundry pegs in a shallow caddy. Generous compartments and a low central divider make it possible to lift several pegs without catching their springs on a dense grid.

shelf sorter, not a weather-rated outdoor carrier or hanging basket.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Longest and widest pegs in each group.
- Approximate footprint of a loose handful of pegs.
- Shelf or cupboard space available for the sorter.
- Comfortable hand-access width between partitions.
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.
Design a laundry peg sorting tray with tray_length, tray_width, compartment_count, compartment_depth, divider_height and corner_radius. Ask for missing dimensions and whether pegs will be stored dry. Create broad compartments, a continuous flat base and rounded inside corners. Keep the divider lower than the outer rim. Do not add a hanging hook or assume the tray can carry a suspended load.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Group the peg sizes
Arrange the pegs into the groups that matter in daily use. Measure loose piles instead of packing them tightly to maximize theoretical capacity.
Lay out compartments
Sketch unequal compartments when one peg type is bulkier. Leave room for fingers to reach the bottom beside the longest peg.
Make the tray cleanable
Round internal corners and keep the walls accessible from above. Add small embossed category marks on the rim rather than deep text cavities.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Compare the compartment plan with a paper layout of actual pegs.
- Review hand access at the narrowest compartment.
- Inspect the exported geometry for closed bottoms and disconnected divider pieces.
