A feasible cutting layout

Numbered cuts span their parent region. Coordinates use the sheet's top-left origin. Trim all four edges of each sheet you use first. Keep unused sheets whole. This layout does not claim the lowest possible material use.

Put it together

Tall marker box exploded assemblyF1L2P1D1L1F2Exploded assembly · 260 × 180 × 160 mmInset base underside: z = 0 mm · actual sheet thickness 9 mm2 compartments · glued butt joints · illustration, not a machining template
  1. 1. Measure and mark

    Measure the actual sheet thickness (9 mm in this plan). Mark front / back F, left / right L, base P and dividers D. Recalculate if the measured thickness differs. Test the actual pens against the wall height before bonding.

    Parts: F, L, P, D · Start here
  2. 2. Cut and label the parts

    Follow the numbered full-width cuts in the cutting sequence, then subdivide each labeled child region. Keep the part IDs and grain arrows. Use the instructions supplied with your tools; this plan is not tool training.

    Parts: F, L, P, D · After measure
  3. 3. Dry-fit the outer walls

    Front and back span 260 mm. Fit the 162 mm side walls between them. Check the outside footprint 260 × 180 mm and square the corners. The inset base is 242 × 162 mm; its underside sits flush with the wall bottoms. Total base clearance is 0 mm per axis (0 mm on each side).

    Parts: F, L, P · After cut
  4. 4. Assemble the base and walls

    Prepare and bond the butt-joint contact faces using an adhesive suitable for your sheet. Center the inset base at z = 0 mm. Check squareness before clamping. For a clearance gap, verify the adhesive allows that gap; use zero clearance or revise the fit if it does not.

    Parts: F, L, P · After dry-fit
  5. 5. Position the dividers

    Mark each divider from the inside face of the left wall. Place the first divider after 116.50 mm of clear space; repeat at a pitch of 125.50 mm. Glue the bottom edge onto P and both ends against F. Each compartment has 116.50 × 162 mm clear floor space. These are straight glued partitions, with no grooves or hidden fasteners.

    Parts: D, F, P · After glue
  6. 6. Cure, finish and check the fit

    Follow the adhesive manufacturer's cure and handling instructions. Smooth edges and apply a finish compatible with your materials. Attach four self-adhesive felt pads under the base corners. Place on a level desktop and avoid top-heavy contents. Use for light desktop items; no load rating is provided.

    Parts: F, L, P, D · After divide
