How to make it
- 01Choose the file for your sheet thickness and test-cut a slot; the tab from the same sheet should press in firmly.
- 02Cut the nine parts: front, back, two sloped sides, base, the full-width cross divider and three identical short dividers.
- 03Build the outer box on the base, add the long cross divider, then press the three short dividers into the front strip.
- 04Sand, apply a waterproof finish, and fill the four front slots with tablets and the long back bay with cloths, soap and a sponge.
One long bay, four small slots
This caddy is laid out the opposite way to most: a full-width cross divider leaves one long, uninterrupted bay at the back, and three short dividers split the low front strip into four equal slots. The slots are just the right size for a few wrapped dishwasher tablets each, so you can sort them by type or keep a week's worth in view. The back bay in the photo holds three rolled microfiber cloths, a scrub sponge and a dish soap bottle together. The walls fall from 100 mm at the back to 45 mm in front.
Cutting the file
For the 3 mm file, plan on about 21 min 26 s with a 10 W diode, about 8 min 56 s with a 40 W CO2 and about 4 min 17 s with a 100 W CO2. A diode handles 3 mm in one or two passes; for the 5 and 6 mm versions, a CO2 laser saves a lot of passes. At 320 mm, this is the widest sink caddy in the set, and the 3 mm layout runs 1100 × 332 mm, so on smaller beds put the base and back on one sheet and the rest on another.
Sealing and assembly tips
Fit the long cross divider first, then the three little ones; they are identical, so the order does not matter. Tab-and-slot joints hold without glue, and a touch of wood glue locks them for good. Since this box stands at the sink, sand the edges and give it a waterproof finish such as polyurethane or hard wax oil, all over.
Shop ideas: list it as a dishwasher pod holder, a search many buyers make, or sell it as a gift set with tablets sorted by color in the four slots.
Questions about this file
How many dishwasher tablets fit in each slot?
Each of the four front slots takes a small stack of wrapped tablets, as in the photo. Unwrapped pods can go in loose as long as the box stays dry.
Can I use the front slots for something else?
Yes, they also suit small scrubbers, bottle brushes or rubber gloves folded flat.
Do I need to waterproof it?
Yes, any plywood near a sink should be sealed with polyurethane, spar varnish or hard wax oil, edges included, or it will swell.
Can I make it narrower?
Changing the size means redrawing it in your design software and keeping each slot exactly as wide as your plywood. A straight percentage scale will spoil the joints.
Can I label the four tablet slots?
The file has cut lines only, but you can add a small engraved label above each slot on the front panel in your laser software.
