Create MillBox Backup Files for Support

Updated over a week ago

When you open a ticket, include a MillBox Backup from the affected job. These files help us reproduce your issue and speed up the fix.

Steps

  1. Open the job
    If the job is not loaded, click Job Management and open it.

2. Open the Support panel

What the backup contains

  • Your MillBox build and dongle number (shown in the Support window)

  • Machine model and material

  • Screenshot or short screen capture, if available

Quick checklist
