How do I pack my 3D printer for transport?
Whether your printer needs to be shipped to our location for repair, or you just want to move it from one location to another, it's important to take some steps to make sure your printer survives the journey:
Secure the bed - Whether your printer's bed is help in place with magnets or clips, you'll want to make sure the bed doesn't come loose during shipping. It can be secured using sturdy elastic bands, or with painters tape. Just make sure the bed and nozzle have completely cooled down first.
Tape the doors and lid closed - Painters tape can be used to keep the doors and lid closed while the printer is being moved.
Package securely - If possible, use the packing material and box that your printer came in to pack it. If you don’t have the original packaging, use bubble wrap or a similar packing material to protect your printer, then put it in a suitably-sized box.
