Thats probably the least problem. We need to ship 8 crates in advance to the exhibit and for some reason I don't think a pelican case would be suitable for cargo shipping. That's almost exclusively wood crates that are used. Maybe a custom flight case would be best.... Also I am a bit afraid of the price for a pelicase that can fit a Rapman, it's considerably larger than a Makerbot, although ultimaker comes close no Erik?<br />Thanks for the tip about soft foam, maybe the styro is to hard in the first place...<br />I think I am also going to make some wood mdf boards with corner holes in them that can slide over the bars on al for sides because I also found that the corner blocks moved 3mm on the thicker bars on some corners, maybe because of the lube?Unfold Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335201925996450866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706836532786314673.post-27138326516060093582010-12-23T15:33:25.217+01:002010-12-23T15:33:25.217+01:00My Ultimaker's in a big Pelican case.

I was planning to make a lighter case, because right now I can't bring a lot of other stuff, because I'm almost over the allowed weight with just the machine it it (both are about 10kg).Erik de Bruijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433438819279256757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706836532786314673.post-45121307301669930632010-12-23T15:08:20.064+01:002010-12-23T15:08:20.064+01:00I use a Pelican 1620 case for lugging around my ma...I use a Pelican 1620 case for lugging around my makerbot cupcake. The squishy foam inserts seem to do a good job of holding it firmly in place and absorbing most of the rattling movement.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364331054735035251noreply@blogger.com
