How to make it
- 01Pick the file for your plywood and cut one divider plus slot from scrap; check your bed takes the 380 mm parts.
- 02Cut the nine pieces in two or three rounds if the 1444 mm strip is longer than your bed.
- 03Join the short sloped sides to the base, add the long back, slide in the four dividers and finish with the front.
- 04Sand, seal, and stand five kinds of snack packs on edge, one kind per slot.
Made for narrow spaces
Only 140 mm deep but 380 mm long, this caddy fits where a square box will not: a pantry shelf edge, the back of a desk, a narrow counter beside the kettle. Four dividers create five slots of about 70 mm, and snack packs stand in them on edge, leaning back on the slope. The photo shows granola bars, mixed nuts, dried apricots with cranberries, crackers, and gold-wrapped cookies from left to right.
Cutting a long, thin layout
The parts lay out in a strip about 1444 × 242 mm at 3 mm, the longest strip in the set but also one of the narrowest. Your bed must take a 380 mm part in at least one direction, and on a small machine you will cut in two or three rounds. Times for the 3 mm file: about 21 min 10 s on a 10 W diode, about 8 min 49 s on a 40 W CO2, about 4 min 14 s on a 100 W CO2. A diode handles 3 mm in one or two passes; 5 and 6 mm sheets need a CO2 or several passes.
Fit the short sides to the base, add the back, slide the four identical dividers into place, then the front. The long base can flex in 3 mm, so a bead of glue along the back joint helps if you load it heavily.
Finishing, selling and gifting
Sand the slot edges and finish with oil or lacquer. Pitch it as a desk snack box for offices, a dorm room snack caddy, or a shelf organizer for small kitchens. Engrave a name along the long front panel for a personal touch; at 380 mm it has plenty of room.
Questions about this file
Is it slim enough for a narrow shelf?
Yes, the footprint is 380 × 140 mm, so it sits on shelves and windowsills about 15 cm deep.
Can I make a shorter three-slot version?
Shorten the base, front and back and remove two dividers with their slots in your editor. Keep every remaining slot at your plywood thickness.
Is 3 mm stiff enough at 380 mm long?
It works for light snacks. 4 mm is noticeably stiffer, and a line of glue along the base adds strength.
Will acrylic work for this caddy?
Yes, a clear acrylic caddy shows off the snacks; test one joint first and use acrylic cement because acrylic tabs slip more than wood.
What finish keeps it looking clean?
A coat of clear water-based lacquer seals the plywood so crumbs and fingerprints wipe off with a damp cloth.
