How to Salvage Usefull Parts from Printers and Scanners

Boy.... This is highly technical stuff!! Much more technical than I have ever expected!!
Well done!!

i also do the same scraping from old circuit boards before sending them for recycle love from India

i love finding optocouplers - you can use them as vactrols in synth circuits e.g. low pass gates

Just came across your page and had to subscribe, currently try to turn my old hp 5600 paper printer into a 3D printer. Wish you could help.

So wiederverwertet man Teile aus einem druckerscanner Combo Gerät super Video

This is the first I've seen from your channel because I needed some rails for a project.
Have been subscribed ever since :) Thank you for your content

Is it worth it to salvage the multi card reader? Or the power supply? Thank you 🤓 can the utility speaker be used in a PC? Danke

Toast bread in oven

Part 2 please

I got a combo printer with scanner the problem is the software is to old for the new mac so i cant scann anymore but the scanner is fully functional sadly I have to throw it away :S

needs some care

Show every screw, details about basic screwdrivers, audio goes from damn that's loud to what did he say.. you're losing your audience bub.

LOL that pommie BBC accent! :-D

Will there be a part 2?

I take great pleasure in seeing an inkjet printer being completely butchered.

Back up in your ass with the resurrection!
It's the group harder than an erection that shows no affection!
They wanna ban us on Capitol Hill!
Cause it's "Die mothafucker, die mothafuckers!" Still!

Part two? :D

I want to see the power supply reverse engineering!

Thank you.

your video inspired me to make robots out of recycled printer parts.

Did this to many 3inone from around 2010 printers but never seen a lens?

It's interesting that I just happened to run across this video. I scrapped out a whole pile of flatbed scanners a while ago. And I have a whole mess of dot matrix printers to deal with yet...

I'll be interested in seeing what uses you might find for some of this stuff.

Please do more videos regarding electronics and salvaging and repairs. Thanks for New Zealand.

I salvage all the electronic parts

Where is part two? Awesome video!

I know it's been like 6 years or so, but any chance on a video showing how to use these parts? I have a very old Canon MX712 all in one (fax, scanner, printer with an area for inserting micro SD cards) that finally needed to be replaced. Print heads clogged beyond repair, (I've tried) and the scanner is scanning with lines through it. I am not a prepper, but I am an artist/maker, and LOVE making new things, or using parts from what others may call junk. I hate planned obsolescence, and filling the junk yard with perfectly good stuff! So thank you very much for taking the time to make your videos!! I have subscribed.

"Please insert preview for followup" lol

One more use from these printer is to salvage the whole linear motion systems and use it in cnc plotter or laser engraving

lol how i didnt discover that channel befor i did that all my life ans still do (salvaging)

yaaa so fun to salvage techno and sometime other interesting objects

Technogy ,once great turns out to be waste and cause of environment pollution. So it's always beneficial to design.repairable and alterable technologies.may not be good for business but good for environment and resources savings for our future children's.

6 years later.. still waiting for part 2...

Great video as i have come to expect from you, is there a second video ?

At some point in the past this printer was joy and pride to it's engineers. And now it's unwanted junk like the rest of old technology. A bit sad.

Very Clever. Well done

I was so looking forward to throwing my hateful and spiteful printer out of the window,,,,,,,Can't now, have to dismantle. hahaha

Hey, you were using a foldscope right?

Question for you about using the large motor. Would it be possible to connect more than one motor in series to get more torque/ power, so they could be used in something like a home build CNC? I hope this makes sense, and look forward to replies.

I'm seeing myself! Lol! I can also ''use'' everything! (someday)

I have heard this voice before on Bugs Bunny!

I save shafts of different diameters. They are useful to drive out stuck bolts and shear pins on snowblowers, etc.

Excellent

Please insert preview for follow up! :D

Photo interrupter AKA Rotary Encoder

Following the advice of this video - I decided to salvage my 5 year old Brother Scanner/Printer...and with the available leftover parts was amazed that I was able to build a full size Millennium Falcon type starship with Quantum Drive & Triple Time Warp Shields...am testing it this weekend to see if I can breach the edge of this galaxy, and further proceed onto the more remote Andromeda Galaxy. Should be back before next weekend with luck...thanks to the poster of this video... :)

Very useful video, thank you!

Unscrewing tutorial.

Please in Hindi dubbing

Good, waiting for another video...

All that electronic stuff is swell and all, but beyond this old woodworker. On the other hand, I'll bet the glass is really flat on both sides, and therefore a good candidate for use in the scary sharp sharpening system. I wonder if they use float glass for copiers.
