A project contains one design or source configuration, its complete print recipe, an imported mesh when applicable, a name, folder and revision note. Each successful save keeps a revision that can be inspected later. Projects preserves individual designs. Multi-part build planning and MOC assembly remain deferred; saving a project does not schedule or start a printer.
Projects belongs to the currently signed-in hosting account. Use the same account on another device to retrieve your projects. Changing a display name, profile accent or printer list does not change ownership. Independent Nexlock accounts and automatic Companion project synchronization are separate future work.
Source attribution, source identity and exact fit settings remain with the saved configuration. A saved or restored revision does not create physical Tested evidence; that status still depends on the applicable source, recipe and recorded checks.
Choose your part, printer, installed nozzle and filament, then wait for the current geometry to finish.
Choose Save project in Part Designer. Sign in through the hosting flow if needed. Enter a descriptive name and optionally a folder and revision note.
Save and wait for confirmation. The first save creates the project; a later save of that open project creates its next revision. Browser draft messages do not mean a project revision has been saved on the site.
Use Save as variant when you want a separate project with the current geometry and recipe. The original project and its earlier revisions remain available.
Open Projects to find the saved design. Opening it restores the stored setup intentionally; review the printer, nozzle, material, source and fit values before export.
Search projects and use the folder filters to narrow the collection. A folder is a flat label saved with each project. Name or change it while saving or editing the project details; it is not a separate file-system directory.
Project cards identify the current revision and printer/material setup. Edit project details to rename or move a project and keep a note about the change. Changes made from Projects update the saved record; they do not silently replace an open design in the Designer.
Projects currently supports 500 projects per account, including archived projects. Archiving preserves a record and does not free a project slot. Existing projects can still be revised at the limit. Refresh after changing another tab, signing in, or recovering a connection.
Open the project’s history to inspect its saved revisions, notes and recorded setup. Load earlier revisions when more history is available.
Select the revision you want to return to and review its details.
Choose the restore action and confirm. Restoration copies the selected design, recipe, name, folder and note into a new current revision; it does not delete or rewrite the intervening history. The project keeps its current active or archived status; use Recover separately when needed.
Open the restored project when you want to use it in Part Designer. A history action does not overwrite the design already open in another workspace or tab.
Project writes check the revision you opened. If another tab has saved, renamed, moved, archived or restored that project first, an outdated save is refused rather than overwriting the newer revision.
Keep your current design open. Review the latest project and history before choosing what to keep, or save your current work as a separate variant. Do not assume a failed save was successful; use the displayed confirmation and saved revision to verify the result.
Internet access and an active hosting session are needed to save or retrieve private projects. The local browser draft remains separate from site storage. Download an export when you need an additional local copy.
Archive moves a project out of the active collection without deleting its design or revision history. Open the archived view to find it and recover it to active work.
Archive and recovery also check the current revision, so a stale tab cannot silently replace another tab’s change. Downloaded files and local Companion output are unaffected.
Calibration profiles and Print Settings defaults remain separate shared workspace records. Saving a project preserves its chosen values; it does not convert or migrate those collections.
From Projects, open Legacy saved parts. These records retain their original shared site collection and existing access.
Open the saved setup you want to keep. Review its geometry, printer and exact recipe.
Use Save project to create a private copy for the current signed-in account. Imported mesh data is saved to the project’s private storage when needed.
Return to Projects to see the new private copy and its first revision. The original shared record is not reassigned, overwritten or automatically removed.
