      How to properly package the BCN3D Sigmax

      The next article will guide you on the process to package your BCN3D Sigmax.

      Warranty notice:

      An unofficial or bad packaging may not protect properly the printer during transport, the damage is expected and it will void the warranty.

      If you don't have the official packaging or you need part of it, please get in contact with support to get a new one: support@bcn3d.com

       

      Warning! The printer is heavy, two people are necessary to perform some steps from this guide. Make sure that the table where the printer is being installed, is close enough.

      Packing Process:

      1. Unload the filament on both extruders, go to Utilities/Filament/Unload Filament. If you can't unload it, cut the filament and remove the spools. Remove the spool holders.

      Note: If you are planning to send your printer to the BCN3D technical service it's not necessary to package the spools and the spool holders.

      2. Insert the long foam between the bottom cover and bed; move the printing surface down (Options/Maintenance/Move Z axis) until the foam is snug, to prevent vibrations in the transport. Remove the upper bowdens.

      5. Cover the printer with a bag and place it inside the box, fit it with the bottom foams to prevent movement in the packaging.
