How to make a plant brush storage divider with vibe CAD
Keep small dry plant-care brushes separated in a shallow container. Individual open channels locate the handles while a shared roomy area protects the bristle shapes from being compressed by neighboring tools.

An organizer for dry brushes used with ornamental plants; it is not a drying or sanitizing system.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Interior length, width and height of the existing container.
- Handle widths and brush lengths.
- Maximum bristle spread for each brush.
- Finger space needed to lift the shortest handle.
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.
Create a removable plant-brush divider with box_length, box_width, brush_lengths, handle_widths, bristle_widths and fit_clearance. Ask for missing measurements and the number of brushes. Add shallow open handle channels and a wide shared bristle bay. Keep walls below the handles' gripping area. Use one short channel coupon, and avoid clamping or bending the bristles.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Map brushes in the container
Lay the dry brushes side by side with their bristles relaxed. Mark the handle positions and leave extra room around the widest brush head.
Create the handle channels
Build low dividers around the handle footprints. Use unequal widths where needed and stop each divider before it reaches the bristle area.
Make the insert removable
Add small finger recesses along two outer edges. Check that the insert clears tapered container walls without depending on flexing the entire base.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Review the channel coupon against the widest handle section.
- Inspect the top view for clearance around every bristle envelope.
- Compare the insert footprint at both the container floor and its rim.
