I have completely torn down a laser printer to recycle recently, and have scavenged a part that might be useful! The printer was electronically sound, but mechanically extremely annoying.
The main component in question is a 750W 115V heating element in a glass tube, with an optional metal roller that went around it. It is about 9" long, as it needed to heat approximately evenly across a standard letter sheet of paper.
I don’t have an immediate use for this, so I’m asking here! If you want it for something, speak up. Bonus points if you’ll make something for ASMBLY - A plastic bending jig? Something for textiles? A cool promo video of the shortest and most fragile lightsaber ever?
Also on offer to anyone who will use them, 2 motors, the power transformer board (AC 115V → DC 5v, 24V, and AC 850W.
If you do have a use for them, the only price is telling me what cool thing you’re going to do! Blowing them up for kid science is totally in bounds.
