Preview result form in Notebook opens an unsaved, read-only example with no sample or measurements selected. To record your own observations, open Results & photos on a saved session with prepared candidates.
A result captures the saved candidate’s recipe, source and geometry identity, sample number and session revision. Changing the current Designer setup or saving another session revision does not rewrite that result’s captured setup. A sample number alone is not a universal fit preset.
The result log is separate from the test-bench wizard and formal fit evidence. Saving observations or attaching a photo does not mark a sample printed in the wizard, verify a native slicer project, apply a recipe or make a profile Tested.
In Calibration → Test bench, prepare the candidates you intend to print and use Save session to keep that exact comparison.
Open Notebook → Sessions and choose Results & photos on the saved session. Sign in with the same hosting account used to save it.
Choose Record result for the numbered candidate you actually inspected. Use a separate result for another physical attempt so repeats remain distinguishable.
Measure the cooled part consistently, and identify the same mating direction and reference when comparing attempts. These few result fields are an observation log, not the complete set of measurements and repeat checks required by Verify & save.
If the saved session has changed since you opened it, reload its current candidates before adding a result. For an attempt made with an older recipe, retain or recover the matching saved comparison rather than attaching it to a different candidate.
Give the attempt a name. Add the optional print date, physical spool and reference when you know them. Keep these descriptions consistent when comparing repeats.
Record grip, seating and single-stud hold separately. Leave a check as Not checked if you did not perform it; comfortable grip does not imply flush seating or single-stud retention.
Select visible print defects and describe the conditions or surfaces in the notes. Record facts you can see or measure rather than treating a suggested next check as a diagnosis.
Enter optional stud diameter, overall height and seating gap measurements in millimeters. Leave unmeasured values blank; a blank is not a zero or a passing measurement.
Save the result and wait for confirmation. Choose Edit observations later if you need to correct a measurement or add notes; the captured candidate and recipe remain fixed.
Add up to 3 private JPEG, PNG or WebP photos of the printed sample. The editor prepares JPEG copies up to 1600 pixels per side and 1 MiB each. Useful views include the underside, mating surfaces, a side view of a seating gap and the measurement being taken. Add captions so each view remains understandable later.
Photos belong to the result in your signed-in notebook. The saved copies omit original filenames and image metadata. A thumbnail or uploaded file is supporting context; it does not establish dimensions, identify the cause of a defect or satisfy physical verification by itself.
Use Edit observations to change captions, add images or remove a photo, then save explicitly. Removing a photo from the editor is not a saved change until that save succeeds. Archive retains the result’s photos for recovery.
Keep the result editor open until the save finishes. If a photo is rejected, review the displayed format or size message and choose a supported image before retrying.
A comparison shows the observations you recorded. It does not rank a winner automatically, transfer Tested status or prove that a recipe difference caused a better fit. Repeat a promising candidate under the same conditions before expanding to a batch.
Result observations remain separate from the existing Compare recipes action between saved sessions. That action compares session recipes and their own evidence; the Results comparison focuses on individual attempts.
Select two results from the same session and choose Compare results.
Compare grip, seating, single-stud hold, defects, measurements, notes and photos alongside the recorded candidate and recipe differences.
Read the context differences before deciding which adjustment helped. A changed source, printer, nozzle, material, spool or reference means more than one condition may have changed.
The guidance follows the recorded observations and prioritizes one check at a time. It is a starting point for inspection, not an automatic diagnosis or a guaranteed adjustment.
Visible warping, obstruction or first-layer buildup should be inspected before changing connection fit. If seating is incomplete, inspect the mating surfaces and underside before deciding that the stud grip alone is wrong.
For a clean sample that seats as intended, compare fit using the existing controlled candidate workflow. If grip and seating look good, repeat the same candidate to check consistency before completing formal verification.
No suggestion changes the recipe, resumes a different sample or saves Tested evidence automatically. Review and explicitly choose the next comparison in Test bench.
Edits check the revision you opened. If another tab changes a result, keep your unsaved fields and review the conflict message before opening the latest saved version. Do not assume a failed save stored your changes.
Use Archive result to set an attempt aside; Archived results keeps it available for Recover result. Archived results retain their observations, captured recipe and photos. If the parent calibration session is archived, its existing results remain readable; recover the session before adding, editing or archiving attempts.
Results and photos require sign-in and network access. Loading, unavailable and empty collections are different states; retry a failed read before interpreting an unavailable log as an empty one.
A session can hold up to 30 results, with 300 result records across the account. Archived results count toward these limits because they remain recoverable.
Complete the existing Verify & save workflow when you want a reusable Tested profile. Its required source, recipe, spool, measurements, matching copies and functional checks still apply.
