How to make a remote-control drawer divider with vibe CAD
Organize several remote controls in an existing drawer with separate open channels that keep their buttons clear and their pickup surfaces accessible.

A storage insert, not a protective case or a device that changes remote-control function.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Measure each remote’s length, maximum width and height including raised buttons.
- Record the grip area and any projecting rear cover or wrist strap.
- Measure the drawer interior and usable height under its closed top.
- Choose finger gaps with the actual remotes on a cardboard compartment layout.
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.
Model a drawer insert using remote_profiles, button_keepouts, channel_widths, channel_lengths, divider_height and drawer_limits. Place remotes face up and leave the grip areas open. Ask for actual body profiles and drawer clearance. Do not add clips that press buttons or assume all remotes are rectangular.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Sketch the full housings
Trace the widest part of each remote and include its raised controls. Choose a face-up arrangement so labels remain readable and buttons do not meet the floor.
Build low channels
Create separators below the normal grip height and use different lengths where needed. Leave an open pickup area at the end used to lift each remote.
Fit the drawer envelope
Add an outer perimeter with a removable gap to the drawer walls. Keep the insert height below the measured clearance with the tallest remote included.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Use a cardboard mockup to check pickup while all remotes are present and the drawer is fully open.
- Inspect the closed-drawer section for contact with raised buttons or the tallest housing.
- Verify exported outer dimensions and plan a perimeter-and-channel sample before full fabrication.
Material
PLA or PETG can be explored for the divider.
