Sign in with the method configured for this Studio: its hosting session, Nexlock email/password or configured social login. Save profile stores your own profile and prepared images on the site; without a session, Save on this device keeps a browser copy. The site owner can view saved member profiles in Members; members cannot browse other profiles.
Choose View profile from the profile menu to see your cover, maker identity, personal printers and badges. A signed-in account shows its assigned role when available.
Use the profile navigation to open Profile settings. Website addresses remain /profile and /profile/settings. Choose Identity, Appearance or Print setup to focus on one group of settings; switching sections preserves your unsaved draft.
In Studio, the same profile pages open inside your workspace. Use Back to Designer to return to the current part.
Use PNG, JPEG or WebP images up to 10 MB each. The browser prepares a square avatar or wide banner and shows the crop in the live preview. Choose a preset to switch back from a custom image.
Choose Appearance in Profile settings or use Edit appearance on the preview.
Browse illustrated Nexlock bricks, maker characters and workshop avatars, or use initials or your own photo.
Browse the banner gallery for brick, character and workshop designs, or upload a cover image. Keep the subject centered for the wide 3:1 crop.
Pick an accent to preview it across the Studio workspace, including in another open Studio tab in the same browser. Print colors and recipes have their own controls.
Add only the details you are comfortable saving in your profile and sharing with the site owner.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Display name | The name shown beside your avatar. The initials option uses this name. |
| About you | A short introduction about what you like to build. |
| Location | An optional city or region. |
| Website | An optional http:// or https:// address. |
Custom images are private to the member and site owner. The owner sees the saved photo in Members and can open an owner-only profile. The directory does not publish email addresses or give other members access to your profile.
On another device, use the same hosting account and open your profile to load saved details. If saving reports a conflict, reload the current profile before saving again. Local drafts, Saved Parts, print recipes and Tested results remain separate.
Choose Save profile while signed in to store your appearance, details, and printer list for your own hosted account. Earlier browser-only edits are not uploaded until you save.
For a new account with no saved profile, Use device copy appears when a different browser profile is available. With no unsaved changes, choose it to stage that copy, review the draft, then choose Save profile to save its fields and upload images.
Choose Discard changes to restore your last saved draft. Reset profile draft stages the default look; save explicitly to apply it.
Without an active hosting session, Save on this device and Remove saved copy manage only this browser’s preview.
Your list can hold up to twelve printers. The profile shows available catalog details for recognized models and keeps custom names. This personal list is separate from the printer and recipe used for an active design.
In Profile settings, open Print setup. Search the catalog and filter by manufacturer, or choose the custom-printer option to enter a model name. Review the selected model before adding it.
Select Add printer for each model and then save your profile. View profile shows all saved printers in Print setup on the website and in Designer.
Use the remove button next to a printer and save again to update your list.
View profile shows the badge catalog and awards for your signed-in account. Use the badge filters to switch between earned awards and the catalog. The owner, Administrators and Moderators can award badges manually. The build showcase is marked Coming soon.
The editor keeps earlier private account records, Saved Parts, calibration profiles and print settings separate.
Companion keeps its own copy on this computer and uses your initials for the avatar.
In the desktop app, open Profile → Profile settings.
Edit your name, bio, location, website and printer models, then choose Save profile.
| What you notice | What to check |
|---|---|
| An image will not load | Try a smaller PNG, JPEG or WebP file. If the crop cuts off your subject, try an image with more space around it. |
| The account connection is unavailable | Choose Retry connection to reconnect while keeping your unsaved edits. You do not need to reload the page. |
| Changes disappeared after a reload | Save before leaving and wait for confirmation. If signed in, check for an error or a conflict with another tab; otherwise reopen the same browser with site storage allowed. |
| A saved profile is missing on another device | Use the same hosting account. Earlier browser-only copies must be explicitly saved while signed in before they appear elsewhere. |
| The host asks you to sign in before the site opens | The hosting access gate is separate from the Nexlock profile editor. |
