Imho that axis is the backbone of the whole unit.
Personally I would not do that: you will disable the whole thing. And while it then can be packed in a flat back I cannot image it will not come at a big cost of stability and loose thingies after doing this over and over.
I would just put in one of those really useful boxes, make sure the bed and other axes cannot move to spare the stepper motors. I image myself using towels or clothes to do this, you know thing that I would have to move anyway.
That said: it’s a great machine at a good price point. You’ll have lots of fun with it!
So, you're suggesting to just put the whole thing in a box without disconnecting anything and it should be fine so long as I'm padding it appropriately right?
Thank you!
Just my 2 cents but yeah that’s basically it.

.. maybe drop Prusa Support a note with your question. Ask them what they would recommend. Just to get their opinion. Imho can’t hurt!
If you can safely move it without disassemble, I think the re-calibration would be minimal.

No worries, friend. I'll make sure I email them if I feel like I need to. I appreciate the help
