Entering a recipe by hand
Already have a recipe written down? Type it in by hand. The wizard is for inventing new recipes; this is for keeping the ones you've got.
Already have a recipe you love — in a notebook, a spreadsheet, your head? Type it straight in. This form is for transcribing recipes you already have. (When you want Ellie to invent a new one, that's the recipe wizard instead.)
Entering recipes by hand is available to studio owners and editors.
Fill in the basics
Start with the header details: the recipe name, the mold, and the resin. For the mold, resin, and colorants you can pick from your pantry so they stay linked to your stock — or type free text if it's something you haven't added.
Heads up: Free-text entries — anything not picked from your pantry — are just labels. They don't feed cost, mix ratios, or inventory tracking. Pick from your pantry whenever you can so the numbers work.
Add your colorants and steps
Add each colorant with its amount. A recipe can hold up to 12 colorants. Then write out the steps in the order you actually do them.
Save it
When it's done, save the recipe. From there you can export it as a PDF to take to the bench, or open the recipe to see it in full alongside the rest of your library.
