How to make a tabletop tile draw cup with vibe CAD
Create a roomy cup for drawing generic game tiles by hand. The opening follows the largest tile and the user's preferred access, while a smooth interior avoids narrow corners that catch irregular pieces.

An organizer and draw container for tabletop components.
01 / START WITH THE REAL OBJECT
Measure before you prompt.
- Largest tile width, length and thickness.
- Loose volume occupied by the intended tile quantity.
- Comfortable hand-access opening.
- Maximum cup height allowed by the storage box.
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 game-tile draw cup with opening_width, cup_depth, interior_height, wall_thickness, inside_radius and base_width. Ask for missing tile dimensions, quantity and hand-access preference. Use an open top, smooth internal transitions and a broad flat base. Show the largest tile as a reference body. Do not claim statistically random draws or use the object as a drinking or food container.03 / INSPECT AS YOU BUILD
Model it in deliberate steps.
Estimate useful volume
Place the intended tiles loosely in an existing container and measure the occupied envelope. Leave extra space for fingers rather than packing the pieces tightly.
Shape the cup section
Create gently sloped walls with broad internal corner radii. Keep the opening at least compatible with the largest tile's orientation and the chosen hand access.
Review storage and removal
Check the cup height against its storage box. Move a reference tile through the mouth at several angles to identify narrow points.
04 / VALIDATE THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
Check the fit and intended use.
- Try a paper opening template with the largest tile and intended grip.
- Inspect the interior for ledges that could catch thin tile edges.
- Compare the modeled capacity with the loosely measured tile envelope.
