8 Log Machine & Place on Pallet

Log the date, time, and your name, in the log entry containing the serial number that matches the Packaged Mini Printer. See your supervisor if you have questions regarding this step.

Once calibrated and packaged, the Lulzbot Mini 3D printer will then be stacked on heat treated pallets for shipping. Following this guide for pallet stacking will help ensure the printer arrives at its destination undamaged and will assist Shipping & Receiving staff in serial number tracking.

Retrieve a heat treated pallet from Shipping & Receiving. Heat treated pallets are identified by a stamp on the side that reads “HT” at the bottom. Refer to picture for example.

Lulzbot Mini printers are stacked 4 machines per layer, no more than 3 layers in height, for a total of 12 machines per pallet.

The machine’s serial number is located on a sticker on one side of the box. That side of the box should face the front or back of pallet, whichever is closest to the machine’s position on the pallet. Serial numbers are recorded both in the Boxing Log and on the “Serial Numbers By Pallet” sheet, which will be affixed to the completed pallet before being moved to Shipping & Receiving.

Place an empty heat treated pallet on the floor, with the pallet openings facing the Shipping and Receiving hallway.
Place the first packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 1. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.
Place the second packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 2. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.
Place the third packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 2. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.

5.Place the fourth packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 2. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.

This completes the first layer, proceed to second layer.

1.Place the fifth packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 5. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.

Place the sixth packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 6. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.
Place the seventh packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 7. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.
Place the eighth packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 5. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.

This completes the second layer, proceed to the third and final layer.

1.Place the ninth packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 9. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.

Place the tenth packaged Mini printer on the pallet in position 10. Make sure the side of the box containing the machine’s serial number faces the pallet openings, as shown. Record the machine’s serial number on the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet.

This completes the third and final layer.

Before transferring the completed pallet to Shipping & Receiving, ensure that all Serial Numbers have been recorded on the serial numbers by pallet sheet.

Use a small piece of transparent tape to affix the “Serial Numbers by Pallet” sheet to the front of the pallet.

The pallet is now ready to be moved to Shipping & Receiving. Make sure to communicate with Shipping & Receiving Clerks for appropriate placement.
