Concentric open arcs provide a visual reference while leaving the center open, so the template does not need to pass over the plant.","category":"Plant care","difficulty":"Beginner","measurements":["Range of actual rim diameters to compare.","Desired interval between marked reference arcs.","Width of the accessible rim segment.","Template size that fits comfortably beside the pots."],"prompt":"Create a flat open-arc pot rim template with min_diameter, max_diameter, diameter_step, arc_angle, plate_thickness and label_height. Ask for missing dimensions and whether comparisons use inside or outside rim diameter. Engrave clearly labeled reference arcs and leave an open side for approach. Treat the tool as a comparison aid, not a calibrated measuring instrument or a plant-care guide.","steps":[{"title":"Define one measurement convention","detail":"Choose inside or outside rim diameter and use it consistently. Record several pots with a separate measuring tool before selecting the template range."},{"title":"Draw the reference arcs","detail":"Generate concentric partial circles from the named diameter parameters. Keep enough space between arcs for readable labels without thick lines merging together."},{"title":"Create the handheld outline","detail":"Add a broad grip area away from the comparison edge. Round the outline and keep the open side wide enough to approach the rim without touching foliage."}],"checks":["Compare the exported scale against a known digital dimension before fabrication.","Print the drawing on paper at full size to assess label readability.","Review the approach path around the pot's accessible rim segment."],"pitfall":"Mixing inside and outside rim diameters makes neatly labeled arcs misleading even when the CAD dimensions are correct.","scope":"An unvalidated visual sorting template, without any precision or calibration guarantee.","materialNotes":"PLA is a candidate for an indoor rigid template. PETG can also be explored; dimensions still require verification after fabrication.","links":{"html":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/pot-rim-measuring-template","markdown":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/pot-rim-measuring-template/guide.md","json":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/pot-rim-measuring-template/guide.json","catalog":"https://partsforagents.com/vibe-cad/catalog.json","order":"https://partsforagents.com/for-humans?project=pot-rim-measuring-template#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.
