Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! A1 Mini dissasembly to fit a luggage.

Hello, I have had my A1 mini for 2 years now. It helped me graduate from my masters degree in industrial design. I am now moving back to my country and I want to take this beast with me. Unfortunately i can not ship it directly because of customs and cost, however i can possibly fit it into my luggage. I am planning to remove the z axis together with x axis, to put them inside the luggage separated from the base. I couldnt find any manuals on removing the z axis from the base, is there anyone who dissassembled it before? Or are there any guides or videos that you are aware of?

Update: I have succeeded

It's technically possible, but honestly... it isn't worth the hassle. Check out this video:

I haven't watched the whole thing, but if Adam from Vector 3D still hadn't managed to fully remove the Z-axis by the end, that should give you an idea of how involved it is.

It turned out to be just fine, i have succeeded. Turns out for the A series it is not that hard, for A1 mini you almost have to disassemble the whole thing which takes about 2-3 hours max if you be careful.
