Repacking

If you are repacking your loaner D2 or returning for repair, please follow the instructions below:

The Z axis motor should be gently turned by hand to lift the arms up high enough to allow the nest packing foam to be gently inserted under the arms. The nest packing foam is shown here, this is a small piece of foam roughly the size of an SBS plate with a Y cutout.

Gently wind the Z axis back down to secure the nest foam as shown in the following photo. Once secured, decorators tape should be applied, as shown, to secure the arms into the nest foam and also to secure the Z axis motor to stop it from turning during transit.

Next, gently lower the D2 into the lower half of the box as shown and use the orange velcro strap to secure the D2 down into the foam cut-out. The D2 cables should ideally be packed in bubble wrap to stop them from causing damage.

After securing the D2 into the base of the box using the velcro provided, fit the piece of plain 500mm x 500mm foam on top of the D2 as shown here:

Finally, key together the two matching parts with cut-outs to make a cross foam section as shown here:
