Stefan - I got an old laser printer to hack the fuser from!

2005-12-02 by lcdpublishing

Hi Stefan, 

My buddy gave me an old (about 3 years) laser printer.  He believe the 
fuser is good so I might have a fuser to hack!  I will start pulling 
the printer apart tonight if I don't get called out of town again.  I 
recall you mentioning certain critical parts I need to keep from the 
rest of the printer so I won't butcher it up too bad.  Can you refresh 
my memory as to what else I need from the printer?

Also, what sort of motor did you use to drive your fuser?  I remember 
you saying it takes about 1 minute to pass a board through, so I am 
guessing you are using some sort of gear motor.  

Thanks!

Chris
