Reading a recipe: what every section means
A tour of a recipe page — resin, mold, ratio, colorants, steps, cost, and the rest — so every section makes sense.
Open any recipe and there's a lot on the page. Here's what each part is telling you.
The essentials
At the top you'll find the resin, the mold, and the mix ratio, along with the volume and yield — how much the recipe makes and how it fills your mold.
Colorants and steps
The colorants are listed with their amounts, and the steps walk through the pour in order. There's room for notes, and if Ellie generated the recipe you may see the original prompt — the description it was built from.
Cost and conditions
On the Maker plan, a material cost panel estimates what the piece costs to make — see Material cost (COGS). You may also see environmental targets (temperature and humidity); those show for the Intermediate and Pro experience levels.
Status and history
The status badge tells you where the recipe stands — and it's tap-to-cycle, not a dropdown: tap it to move it along (see Recipe statuses). Further down, pour history lists the times you've actually poured this recipe.
Heads up: A status of Ready is the same as "tested" — it just means this one's proven.
