Preservation and service notes
Keep the controller cap free of dust and avoid levering it sideways. Do not open the weighted base unless necessary; preserve its USB cable and record 3DxWare version with any workflow capture.
Record the as-found label, accessories, host OS, driver/firmware version, and test method. Separate observed condition from published specifications; do not treat family-level feature claims as proof of a unit's revision.
