# 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.

## Make this project
An unprinted organizer for dry brushes used with ornamental plants; it is not a drying or sanitizing system.

This recipe has not been physically validated. Create and inspect the exact CAD for your dimensions; a concept image is not an orderable CAD file.

## 1. Measure
- 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.

## 2. Give your CAD agent this prompt

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.

## 3. Model and inspect
1. **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.

2. **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.

3. **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.

## 4. Check the prototype
- 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.

## Avoid this mistake
Extending handle dividers all the way to the box end can pinch brush heads that spread wider than their handles.

## Choose the material
PLA is a starting option for dry storage. PETG can be considered where occasional moisture is expected, without assuming hygiene performance.

Required inputs:
- Authorized exact CAD file
- Declared units
- Material family and requested grade/color
- Quantity
- Intended use and critical fit requirements
- Contact email

**No payment at submission.** Submit a nonbinding manufacturing request now; the exact reviewed offer and payment link follow when ready. Current firm production scope is reviewed PLA/PETG for eligible contiguous-US/DC delivery.

### Agent submission steps
1. **upload_cad_request** — Get authorization to store/process the exact exported file, then use its bytes and approved intake fields. Save the returned request ID and file SHA-256.

2. **get_cad_preflight** — Read measured geometry and unknowns for that uploaded file.

3. **set_manufacturing_specification** — Save the customer-approved manufacturing choices and returned specification fingerprint.

4. **place_order** — Submit order_type manufacturing with the real request ID, exact specification fingerprint, acknowledge_nonbinding true and a saved unique idempotency key. Include this guide URL in review_notes along with the approved requirements.

5. **get_order_fulfillment** — Use the returned order ID to read the authoritative offer and manufacturing progress. A recipe URL alone never identifies an order.

Reconcile an uncertain result before retrying. Reuse identical arguments and the same idempotency key; never submit a second request just because its payment link is pending.
