4.12.1 Preparing the printer for transportation
To prepare the printer:
1. Always remove the build platform, resin tank, mixer, and resin cartridge before moving or
packaging the printer.
2. Wipe residual resin from the build platform and store the platform away from sunlight.
Do not ship the printer with any resin inside. Resin left inside the machine can leak
during transit, which may result in additional fees or void the warranty.
NOTICE
Do not ship the printer with the resin tank, resin cartridge, or build platform inserted
into the printer. Consumables left inside the machine can become loose during transit
and damage sensitive components, which may result in additional fees or void the
warranty.
3. Store the resin tank with its lid in place.
4. Store the resin cartridge with the vent cap pressed closed and the valve cover installed.
When shipping a printer to Formlabs or a certified service provider for replacement or
repair, the build platform, resin tank, resin cartridge, power and USB cables, and other
accessories should not be shipped and will not be returned after service. Original
NOTICE
packaging is required for warranty service. Contact Formlabs Support or a certified
service provider for unique guidance on shipping requirements.
4.12.2 Packaging the printer
To package the printer:
1. If the printer's outer cardboard carton has
been flattened, start by re-assembling the
box and securely taping its top opening. Use
reinforced packing tape or tape all box seams
to ensure that your printer is not damaged
during shipping.
2. Insert the bottom foam inserts into the lower box.
3. Insert one edge support into each of the internal
corners of the lower box. Depending on the
date of manufacture of your printer, you may
have three or four edge supports.
4. Slip the microfiber shipping cover over the
printer. Ensure that the shipping cover sits flat
against the faces of the machine.
