How to make it
- 01Pick the file that matches your plywood and test one slot; with only six parts a test cut takes seconds.
- 02Cut the six pieces from the 860 × 272 mm layout.
- 03Seat the single divider in the base, add the 100 mm back, then the two sloped sides and the 60 mm front.
- 04Sand the corners, apply oil or lacquer, and put palettes in the wide bay and brushes in the narrow one.
The simplest box in the makeup set
With only six parts and one divider, this caddy is the quickest makeup organizer here to cut and glue up, which makes it a good first project for a new laser. The divider stands roughly two thirds of the way along, so you get a wide bay and a narrow one. In the photo the wide bay holds two eyeshadow palettes on edge and a pair of powder compacts, while the narrow bay keeps brushes upright alongside gold lipsticks.
Cut time and material
The six pieces fit on an 860 × 272 mm layout, short enough for many mid-size beds in one go. The 3 mm file is estimated at about 13 min 23 s on a 10 W diode, about 5 min 35 s with a 40 W CO2 and about 2 min 41 s with a 100 W CO2. A diode user who wants a sturdier caddy can try 4 mm in two or three passes; 6 mm is a job for a CO2.
Assembly and gift ideas
Push the divider into the base, add the 100 mm back, fit the sides and finish with the 60 mm front. Press the tabs home with a rubber mallet if they are tight. A drop of glue in each corner turns it into a permanent piece.
Because it is small and quick, this is the box to cut in batches:
- Party favors or bachelorette gifts with a lip gloss inside
- Low-cost add-on item in an Etsy shop next to larger organizers
- A desk caddy for pens and highlighters, not just makeup
Questions about this file
Is this a good first laser project?
Yes. Six parts and one divider make it easy to learn tab fit and assembly order, and the 3 mm file cuts in a short session even on a diode.
What fits in the narrow section?
Brushes, lipsticks, eyeliner and mascara stand upright there. Keep compacts and palettes in the wide section.
Can I cut a batch from one large sheet?
Yes, copy the six-part layout several times in your laser software and leave a few millimetres between copies. A 600 × 900 mm sheet holds more than one set.
Should I use glue?
The tabs hold on their own, which is handy if you want to flat-pack it for shipping. Add wood glue only when the customer wants a fixed box.
Can I put a name on the caddy?
The 260 mm front is wide enough for a first name in a script font. Engraving is not part of the file, so add the text as a separate engrave layer.
