How to make it
- 01Choose the file for 3, 4, 5 or 6 mm plywood and check one slot against a cut tab before running the sheet.
- 02Cut all 6 pieces of the caddy (front, back, both sloped sides, base and the single divider).
- 03Push the divider into the base, add the back and the two sloped sides, then press the low front into place.
- 04Sand the edges, seal, and fill pads on the wide side and tampons plus wipes on the narrow side.
Two bays, no fuss
This is the plainest box in the set: one divider, two bays. The left bay is about two thirds of the length and takes pads in more than one size, for example a stack of pink day pads with slim liners in front of them. The narrower right bay holds a row of tampons standing on end with a small pack of wipes in front. With the front at 60 mm and the back at 120 mm, the box looks tidy from the doorway and you can still see what is running low.
Quick cut, quick build
6 parts and a short cut line make it a good first project or a fast seller. The 3 mm file cuts in about 15 min 04 s on a 10 W diode, about 6 min 17 s on a 40 W CO2 and about 3 min 01 s on a 100 W CO2. On a diode, 3 mm usually goes through in one or two passes; 5 and 6 mm need several passes or a CO2. The 3 mm layout is 980 × 292 mm, so on smaller beds put the base and back on one sheet and the rest on a second. Putting it together takes a couple of minutes, in this order: divider into base, back, sides, front.
Ideas for small shops
Because the cut is short, this box makes sense in volume. Sell it in a few finishes (natural, white stain, oiled), offer it as a wholesale item for gyms and offices that stock free period products, or bundle it with a printed refill card for subscription boxes.
Questions about this file
Is this caddy a sensible first build on a new laser?
Yes. It has only 6 parts and one divider, so the assembly order is obvious and a slot test tells you right away if the kerf is right.
What fits in the narrow bay?
A row of standing tampons plus a small travel pack of wipes, or a stack of panty liners if you prefer.
Which thickness should I choose?
3 mm for a light box and the quickest cut; 4 mm if it will live on a counter and get bumped. 5 or 6 mm is very solid but needs more laser power.
Can I make a bigger version for a public restroom?
Enlarge the panels in your editor and keep each slot at the sheet thickness. Simple scaling of the whole file changes slot widths and breaks the fit.
Is there a lid?
No, it is an open caddy. If you need a cover, cut a flat panel to rest on top or use it inside a cabinet.
