Reference walls stay unchanged in the restored test

The current file-based test refines only studs. Earlier wall-seating setups remain available through saved profiles.

Restore the file rather than changing walls

In All tests → Previous setups, choose Restore the K2 Pro stud trial for checked 3003 / K2 Pro / PLA / 0.4 mm. Search also recognizes its older Restored reference · stud grip only name. The inferred +0.030 mm contour baseline matches the confirmed reference toolpaths. Body walls, cavity, tube and underside stay unchanged between samples. Only the original faceted stud diameters increase.

This replaces the current test’s previous 0.10 mm exterior inset and receiving-surface sweep. It does not thicken or thin the walls. Previously saved wall-seat-v1 profiles still generate their original geometry and retain their original evidence. They are not silently converted into stud-only profiles.

02

Check the body and the actual connection

The Print samples step shows the prepared stud’s maximum X/Y span, straight-wall thickness, body-joint gap, receiving entry envelope and geometry IDs. All new candidates have the same walls and receiving envelope. A reported span around 6.8 mm or 7.0 mm must identify its caliper endpoints; it is not treated as one literal sidewall thickness.

Bridge two adjacent bricks with a third in a staggered wall. Reject blocked studs, force, lift, rocking or a seating gap. Stud-only changes affect a printed stud entering another receiver; they do not tighten a genuine stud entering the unchanged printed underside. Check both directions.

03

Retain evidence for the recipe actually printed

  1. Print and cool the baseline and neighboring stud choices with the same spool and process.

  2. Check both full engagement and exactly one stud, then repeat the selected candidate three times.

  3. Complete at least ten connect/release cycles and the ten-second single-stud hold on every copy; measure dimensions and seating gaps.

  4. Mark Tested only after the displayed checks pass. A faster pace is a new recipe and needs its own verification.

Prepared for the current Nexlock workflow. Source review dates and data snapshots retain their own context; a digital check does not certify a physical print.
