Feature Request: Record keeping database or export ability

After printing a number of models with my X1C/AMS I am finding it is difficult to remember what the details were for the print.

It would be helpful to provide the ability to ether maintain an internal database where the user could add notes about the print (model, filament type, comments on the print, specific settings) or else provide the ability to export the print history data in a common format such as csv or json. The user could then create and manage their own database with whatever details they might like to retain.

Studio currently provides a print history but does not allow user note entry nor all of the specific settings used in the print.

Most of the settings you mention will be saved when you save the model as a project (printer, filament, process settings). Notes and comments can also be added as text in the process settings (Other:Notes). The Other tab will be highlighted when you next open the .3mf file to remind you that something has been changed from the default process setting.

If you publish a Studio project to Makerworld, you can add pictures, pdf files, and text files to the project, and they will be displayed in the Studio Project tab. You can make the project private if you do not wish to share, but all additions/modifications of this extra information has to be done on the Makerworld site. You can then download the modified file for local storage.

If you use OrcaSlicer, you can add similar Project tab information to your file, but it is all done locally on your computer. An OrcaSlicer .3mf can not be published on MakerWorld.

OrcaSlicer will use the printer settings and display the additional Project data from a Studio/Makerworld .3mf.

Studio will not use the printer settings or display the additional Project data from an OrcaSlicer .3mf, it will only import the model geometry.

tks for the tips, I discovered the Other/Notes about 30 minutes ago. I need to spend more time with Studio and Projects.
