# How to make a player dashboard token rail with vibe CAD

Arrange a player's current resources or status tokens in a single visible row. Shallow open bays sit beside an existing dashboard, keeping pieces organized without clipping onto printed artwork or reproducing a commercial game's design.

## Make this project
An unvalidated tabletop organization recipe, not a game-specific accessory with established compatibility.

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
- Width, thickness and outline of each token type.
- Number of bays needed during normal play.
- Available length beside the player dashboard.
- Preferred finger-access width at the front of each bay.

## 2. Give your CAD agent this prompt

Create a generic player-token rail with token_sizes, bay_count, bay_clearance, rail_length, bay_depth and finger_opening. Ask for missing component dimensions and the user's own neutral bay labels. Make open shallow bays on a continuous base, with a low rear wall and curved front access. Keep the rail freestanding beside the dashboard and do not reproduce copyrighted artwork or logos.

## 3. Model and inspect
1. **Define the information layout** — List the token groups in the order players naturally read them. Use fewer wider bays if several tokens must share a position.

2. **Build the rail footprint** — Fit the requested bays into the available length while preserving finger space. Keep the rear wall low enough that standing or stacked tokens remain visible.

3. **Add pickup relief** — Cut a curved front opening into each bay. Preview a token moving outward and upward so neighboring dividers do not obstruct removal.

## 4. Check the prototype
- Compare a full-size paper rail with the actual player dashboard.
- Review one representative bay coupon before repeating its dimensions.
- Check the tallest intended token stack against the rear wall and sightline.

## Avoid this mistake
Reducing bay spacing to fit a long row can make the tokens visible but awkward to retrieve.

## Choose the material
PLA is a dry indoor prototype option. PETG may also be considered; clearance and surface finish still need their own review.

Have the model ready? Upload the exact customer-approved file. Starting from this guide? Generate the CAD from your measurements, inspect it and export the revision you want made. Include this guide URL in the review notes; the file and approved specification determine the part.

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

**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.
