sighs this was a printer I sent out last week it turned up trashed. I’ve got it back to repair, but it had to gave taken a huge whack to the shipping box to do that…

Sadly, I’ve seen this all too often with couriers. They sometimes literally throw your goods around. Your packaging needs to be up to handling that.

Automated sorting systems hit boxes hard. I believe ups has a division you can contact to help design packaging to prevent this. They have specs as to where the arms and pushers hit on boxes. I believe they will even test packaging for you. Not sure if it’s free or not, I just remember seeing a show on it a couple years ago.

Aye, it’s a good job I’ve got a spare frame ready to go from one of the Migbot conversions

It’ll be back running over the next couple of days. I have a fully assembled frame ready should only be a couple of hours to sort it.
