In Calibration, open Notebook and choose Sessions or Named setups. Active and Archived views keep current work separate from records you have set aside. Notebook records belong to your current signed-in hosting account; use the same account on another device to retrieve them.
A session keeps the selected Nexlock Brick System source, test, exact starting setup, numbered candidate recipes, mesh identities, progress, measurements and notes. A named setup keeps a reusable printer, installed nozzle, filament selection and print recipe.
Save session and Named setups keep records private to your account. The Save legacy Tested profile & use part and Save legacy custom profile buttons write to the existing site-shared Legacy profiles collection. Shared print defaults also retain their earlier behavior. Notebook does not silently convert those records into private ones.
Session saves are explicit. Switching tabs or seeing a local Designer draft message does not mean the notebook has saved new progress on the site. Partial measurements remain incomplete and never imply that a physical test passed.
A guided session can also retain the connection goal, printed side, reference name, fit-search baseline and per-sample feel ratings. Save those observations before starting a refinement if you want the earlier comparison available in Notebook. Ratings remain separate from the formal measurement and Tested checks.
The Results workspace records individual observations against a saved sample and its captured recipe. Adding or editing a result does not change the session’s selected candidate, wizard measurements or formal verification. See Record and compare calibration results for the complete workflow.
Choose the source, goal and starting recipe in Test bench, then prepare the numbered candidates.
Use Save session and give the test a name and optional session note. Save incomplete measurements when you want to continue later.
Wait for the save confirmation. Use Save session again after further progress, measurements, notes or handoff activity that you want to retain.
Open Notebook → Sessions to find the saved record. View record shows its Saved recipe, Evidence for this session, Numbered samples and Companion activity. Results & photos opens the separate attempt log for that session.
A sample number is local to its source, goal, range and recipe. Resume must not substitute a different sample with the same number or silently attach historical measurements to changed geometry. If the saved test cannot be reproduced, retain its record and begin a separate comparison.
Preparing or resuming a digital test does not print it, verify its physical dimensions or prove clutch performance. Follow the verification guide before choosing Save legacy Tested profile & use part; that action writes to your account’s Legacy profiles collection.
Find the session in Notebook → Sessions and review its saved source and setup.
Choose Resume and review the confirmation: resuming replaces the working recipe and current test-bench progress. Cancel and save the current session first if you want to keep unsaved work, then confirm to return to the recorded test.
The candidates are rebuilt using their stored recipes, including captured native motion where present. The source, part, release, mesh identity and nominal bounds must match; each rebuilt derivative and target bounds must also match before printed progress and measurements are restored.
Continue the numbered-sample workflow and save the session again after recording the results.
Applying a setup is an explicit recipe change, not automatic physical verification. Review any resulting evidence mismatch and retest where required. A saved session retains its own exact setup snapshot even if the named setup is updated later.
The catalog filament identifies the selected product and color. Record the actual spool and physical conditions in the test; a catalog match cannot establish batch, drying condition or successful fit.
Open Notebook → Named setups and choose Save current setup to capture the current printer, installed nozzle, filament selection and recipe. Give it a name that identifies the machine and spool.
Choose View setup to review a saved recipe, or Apply to compare it with the current recipe. Applying the setup starts a new comparison and replaces current test-bench progress; cancel and save the current session first if needed.
Use Rename or edit notes for descriptive changes. Use Update from current recipe only when you intend to replace the reusable setup with the recipe currently selected.
Use Archive setup to set it aside and the Archived view to recover it later.
A recipe comparison explains recorded differences. It does not automatically transfer Tested status between printers, nozzles, spools, sources or candidates, and it does not prove that one recipe will print faster or grip better.
In Sessions, select the two saved sessions you want to compare.
Choose Compare recipes to inspect the recorded setup and recipe differences.
Check each session’s own evidence status and unresolved checks before deciding what to try next.
Evidence for this session distinguishes saved partial results from evidence that still matches the selected sample and exact recipe. Missing physical measurements or required checks remain visible; saving a record does not fill them in.
Companion activity records preparation, download, slicer-opening, failure and cancellation outcomes observed by the website during this session and associates them with the relevant sample and recipe. It is not a synchronization of the desktop application’s older local receipt history.
A prepared project or downloaded file is not a completed print. A request to open a slicer is not proof of slicing, printer execution, cooling or successful physical fit. Mark printed samples and complete measurements yourself.
Notebook saves check the revision you opened. If another tab has updated the record, an outdated write is refused instead of overwriting it. Keep the current work open and use Save as copy when offered, or review the latest saved record before continuing.
Archive keeps a session or named setup available in the Archived view. Recover returns it to active work. These actions do not delete downloaded files, change a private design project or rewrite an existing fit profile.
Sign-in and internet access are required to save and retrieve private notebook records. Wait for confirmation after a save; a failed network request is not evidence that the saved record contains your latest measurements.
Notebook supports 200 saved sessions and 100 named setups per account. Archived records count toward these limits because they remain recoverable. Updating an existing record does not create another collection item.
