Keep the rim accessible and the pot easy to lift, using measured dimensions instead of a nominal pot size printed on a label.","category":"Plant care","difficulty":"Beginner","measurements":["Pot base diameter and widest diameter near the tray rim.","Height of any feet or raised drainage features.","Available shelf footprint around the pot.","Finger space needed to lift the pot out."],"prompt":"Model a shallow round drip tray with pot_base_diameter, pot_rim_diameter, tray_depth, radial_clearance, wall_thickness and inside_radius. Ask for missing measurements and whether the pot tapers. Add a flat floor and accessible rounded corners. Show the pot as a reference body. Do not add a reservoir, wick or automatic watering feature, and do not assume the printed tray is watertight.","steps":[{"title":"Capture the pot profile","detail":"Measure both the base and the portion that will sit beside the tray rim. A tapered pot may need more room above its foot."},{"title":"Revolve the tray section","detail":"Sketch the floor, sidewall and rim in section. Revolve the outline while keeping the inside radius broad enough to wipe clean."},{"title":"Review access","detail":"Place the pot reference in the tray and check finger access from two sides. Keep drainage openings unobstructed by decorative additions."}],"checks":["Compare a full-size circle template with the pot and shelf.","Review the rim section for clearance around the tapered pot wall.","Plan a separate leakage check before using any printed tray on a sensitive surface."],"pitfall":"Matching the advertised pot diameter can overlook a wider molded foot or an outward taper near the tray rim.","scope":"An unprinted passive tray for ornamental plants; plant watering remains a separate task.","materialNotes":"PETG is a candidate for occasional wet contact. Material choice alone does not establish a watertight or outdoor-durable result.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/nursery-pot-drip-tray","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/nursery-pot-drip-tray/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/nursery-pot-drip-tray/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=nursery-pot-drip-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.
