Some company literally spent years paying for this copier. Now striping it for spares I found atleast $30 worth of spares. Hope to get the end stops working there’s 8 of them. A few tinny stepper motors. Anything else that may be useful appart from grinding up the abs panels for filament.
Look for linear encoder ribbons or rotary encoders, they can be used to add on positional feedback for axes on your printer.
Bearings, bushings, hardened steel rods, glass (platen).
Yeah got some good parts (motors, rods, belts, lots of springs,…) out of old dot-matrix printers and flatbed scanners.
OMG a wealth of rods, springs, switches belts, gears gears gears and more gears. if you can grind up the panels and you do make filament out of them, I’d be curious to hear how that works out.
/sub! I’m also interested by your abs grinding to filament process. Funnily enough I thought about doing that today. Except I don’t have a grinder nor a filament maker. Do you have those?
@Julien_Dodokal Have you seen this? http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=6285
sadly 1x t2,5 closed loop belt. and just one usable bearing shaft. But the scanner assembly is interesting. reminds me of the powder based printer someone built a while ago. would be a great powder wiper.
