A numbered wheel and separate pointer provide a visible note beside an indoor plant, without deciding when it needs water or another treatment.","category":"Plant care","difficulty":"Intermediate","measurements":["Available display width and height beside the plant, away from watering spills.","Readable number height at the normal viewing distance.","Actual screw, washer and nut dimensions for the proposed pivot.","Desired turning-tab size and space for fingers around the wheel."],"prompt":"Model a manual date dial with dial_diameter, number_height, wheel_thickness, pointer_length, pivot_hole, washer_clearance and turning_tab_size. Put dates 1 through 31 around the wheel and a fixed pointer on a separate backing plate. Ask for missing dimensions and the chosen pivot hardware. Keep both parts editable and include a pivot-fit coupon. This records a past task; do not generate a watering schedule, powered mechanism or automatic reminder.","steps":[{"title":"Check the readable layout","detail":"Draw 31 evenly spaced date positions and place full-size paper numbers around the proposed circle. Increase the wheel diameter if adjacent labels become difficult to distinguish."},{"title":"Separate the moving parts","detail":"Create the numbered wheel and backing plate as distinct solids. Put the pointer above the date ring and leave a measured gap so it does not rub across the numbers."},{"title":"Plan the manual pivot","detail":"Add the measured hardware envelope and a broad turning tab. Inspect a section through the screw, washers and wheel before exporting each part separately."}],"checks":["Confirm every date appears once and the pointer selects an unambiguous label.","Evaluate the pivot coupon before choosing the final hole and running clearance.","Inspect the first assembly for free rotation, visible labels and accessible hardware."],"pitfall":"An attractive render can hide crowded date labels or a pointer that drags against raised lettering; inspect both the face and a section.","scope":"An unprinted manual record of a completed task, not plant-health advice, a watering controller or a calibrated timing device.","materialNotes":"PLA or PETG can be considered for a dry indoor prototype. Pivot fit and turning resistance require a physical sample; keep the dial separate from wet soil.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/plant-care-log-dial","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/plant-care-log-dial/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/plant-care-log-dial/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=plant-care-log-dial#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.
