Prusa Shipping Helpers

These are not my designs (there is no other file I can link to in order to post as a re-mix). I cannot take any credit for them whatsoever. I'm just posting them here as the link on the forums no longer works (I have tried to fix it but…)

Here are the shipping helpers the awesome peeps at Prusa Support sent me many years ago. I was moving from one country to another and at the time my Prusa MK2 was my pride and joy. I couldn't find a suitable solution to prevent the moving parts from crashing during shipping. So I reached out to Prusa Support and they sent me these.

I printed them, installed the various nuts & bolts and used them to ship my printer. I printed two sets of the Z-axis-nut & Z-axis-rear, one for each of the Z's. The rest just one set each.

I would suggest printing them in PETG if at all possible as there is a chance that PLA being a little brittle could break with rough handling.

These worked for me but may not for you. Please use with caution when shipping your printer.
