Shallow nests locate the bases while keeping the figures, paintwork and projecting details clear of dividers and neighboring pieces.","category":"Tabletop games","difficulty":"Beginner","measurements":["Base diameters or rectangular base dimensions.","Base thickness and any beveled edge.","Maximum figure overhang beyond each base.","Available shelf or game-box footprint."],"prompt":"Create a miniature-base parking tray with base_sizes, pocket_clearance, pocket_depth, figure_overhangs, pocket_spacing and tray_margin. Ask for missing measurements and whether bases are round or rectangular. Use shallow loose nests with finger openings. Represent figures only as neutral clearance volumes; do not reproduce character artwork. Keep the design free of magnets, locking clips and transport-retention claims.","steps":[{"title":"Separate base size from figure reach","detail":"Measure each base and then the farthest projecting detail above it. Use the larger envelope when deciding how close neighboring pockets can sit."},{"title":"Lay out the nests","detail":"Place the largest clearance volumes first. Make shallow pockets around the base outlines and leave open finger access on a side without overhanging details."},{"title":"Review vertical removal","detail":"Lift each reference volume in the CAD assembly. Check that the neighboring figure envelopes do not block a straight upward removal path."}],"checks":["Compare a full-size paper plan with the actual figures resting on their bases.","Review one pocket coupon before repeating a base size.","Inspect pocket depth against beveled or textured base edges."],"pitfall":"Spacing pockets by base diameter alone can cause projecting arms, scenery or other details to overlap.","scope":"An unprinted stationary organization tray for user-owned pieces, not a protective miniature transport system.","materialNotes":"PLA or PETG can be considered for the tray. Keep the intended contact limited to bases and avoid forced fits against painted surfaces.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/miniature-base-parking-tray","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/miniature-base-parking-tray/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/miniature-base-parking-tray/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=miniature-base-parking-tray#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.
