Bugger.

Just submitted a support ticket on their site.

That's a shame, that must of been a fair whack. I thought the packaging was good on mine.

Their packaging does seem sound. Box has some crumpling around the bottom, but no discernible blows to the sides. That fold in the side panel is where the bed bracket/slider is.

I'm impressed with the build quality. Elegoo have been in touch & given me a couple of options, so I've continued unpacking it to check for further damage, & there's nowt further that appears damaged, from eye.



When you consider that side panel must've received a reasonable whack:



I'm impressed. Even the mounting/bracket which the panel bent around seems sound, to the eye.

Going to set it off on its initial calibration process, shortly, which should highlight any issues, if there are any.

Keep us posted!

Will do.

Everything's looking good, so far. It's completed its initial setup without incident, & I've set it off printing one of the supplied files; The filament waste bin. First layer going down:



Side panel is still off, as yet. Didn't bother trying to straighten that somewhat until I know everything else is fine.

 

[MattF]

About ¾ of the way through now, & still looking fine, so I think it's safe to assume that panel was the only damage.
